«Acqua Toffana» is the novel by Brazilian writer Patrícia Melo, published in 1994 by Companhia das Letras in paperback (133 pages, in Portuguese).
In two stories, the author explores the psychology of the killer and the fascination that evil arouses: violence and sex appear linked to a lucid and disturbing view of death. Fiction thus becomes a way to glimpse the darkest side of the human being, a disquieting yet seductive territory.
For readers of crime and psychological fiction seeking a disturbing look at human nature.
Patrícia Melo is a Brazilian author. She has written The Killer and In Praise of Lies, among others. Her works have dealt with sex and violence in a heavily urbanized setting.
