In BrasÃlia, impunity has always found a way to survive. Until a senator is found dead - and beside the body, a list of six names, all connected to a corruption scandal the country believed long buried.
For investigator Cristiane Furtado, the scene is only the beginning. With every new lead, she draws closer to an adversary who knows the corridors of power, anticipates the police's every move, and leaves behind the same calling card: a small brass gear. The names on the list belong to powerful people. Untouchable people.
Or so they thought.
As BrasÃlia fractures under the weight of fear, influence, and buried secrets, Cristiane must uncover who is moving the pieces before the next name is crossed out. Because someone has decided that Brazilian justice is running late. And they are willing to reset its hands at any cost.
The Watchmaker's Toll is a high-stakes political thriller about corruption, power, memory, and the brutal price of impunity.
Originally published in Brazil as O Relojoeiro da Justiça (P. J. Clay, 2026). Translated from the Portuguese.
