«Último acto em Lisboa» is the crime novel by Robert Wilson, with Manuel Joaquim Vieira and Maria Douglas, published by Gradiva in paperback, in Portuguese.
Inspector Zé Coelho investigates the murder of a teenager in 1990s Lisbon. The investigation connects with 1941, when Klaus Felsen, an SS envoy, arrives in Lisbon, and with a bank founded with capital looted by the Nazis. Between World War II and the 1974 revolution, the case unearths old injustices of the Portuguese dictatorship.
Work originally published as «A Small Death in Lisbon» (1999) and winner of the Macallan Gold Dagger 1999 and the Deutscher Krimi Preis 2003 (1st place international).
Recommended for readers of crime and historical fiction, especially those who enjoy plots set in World War II and in 20th-century Portugal.
