You learn about their strange quirks and their haunted pasts and root for them every time they face danger. But where do some of the most fascinating sleuths in the mystery and thriller world really come from?

The Literarians book group at the Merc loved this, as did I. Quirky, haunting stories in the existential mode by a Brazilian writer that deserves much wider recognition. Thanks to Marina Heck and Idra Novey for recommending her.
