Synopsis

Rio de Janeiro, late 19th century. At first, only the precious Stradivari that Emperor Dom Pedro gave to his beloved has disappeared--an embarrassing mishap, no more. To get the precious piece back, actress Sarah Bernhardt, who is just giving a shiny guest performance in Rio, recommends her friend Sherlock Holmes. No big problem for a detective of his caliber... Arrived in Brazil, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson immediately plunge into the pleasures of the Belle Époque and experience the sensual pleasures of the tropics on their own British body. What does not prevent the master detective from boasting in front of the locals and normal mortals with his startling combination gift. But when a serial killer deals in the streets of Rio, he is also given the insight that crimes committed south of the equator cannot be solved with a "Very simple, Watson". "Sherlock Holmes in Rio" is a sweeping and captivating novel, at least as much satirical social comedy as conventional crime - »a prickelnof the Divertimento, which makes no further claims." (Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
