«O Enigma de Zulmira» is the historical novel by Vasco Graça Moura, published in 2002 by Quetzal Editores in paperback (175 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel is inspired by the real case of Carolina Loff, a communist militant and Soviet spy who, while imprisoned, falls in love with one of the PIDE agents interrogating her. In the fiction she is Zulmira and he is Esmeraldo; the attraction between the prisoner and her interrogator articulates a story of passionate intrigue between two opposing sides.
In his biography of Álvaro Cunhal, Pacheco Pereira cites Carolina Loff as one of the most influential communist militants of the 1930s, with links to the Soviet leadership.
For readers of historical fiction with a backdrop of espionage and political repression.
