The Jewish Bride

The body of a man beaten to death is found on a deserted beach. The corpse belongs to a writer, who was in the city to attend the preview screening of the film adaptation of his most famous book.

That same night, a young man confesses to the murder, but it is at that moment that a question arises: why do the collected clues suggest that he is innocent? The mystery deepens when the victim's fiancée, an art collector with her own plans, decides to go public. She has something to say, but could she be involved?

Following the success of The Cardinal, Nuno Nepomuceno returns and finally presents the long-awaited conclusion to the Afonso Catalão series. Set between Cambridge, Amsterdam, and Venice, inspired by the death of the Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, and constructed according to the five elements of a film, The Jewish Bride is an intelligent, seductive, and daring psychological thriller, a page-turner that you will only be able to put down when you reach the last page.
