Brazilian Saints, Manhattan Mortals Michael Featherstone

A Brazilian female jogger is found murdered in Central Park. The police investigation is stymied by a lack of evidence and is going nowhere. Enter Mike Breza, private detective and bartender at the White Horse Tavern. Hired to lend a hand by the murdered womans boyfriend, who also happens to be his brother, Mike finds himself paired up with a friend of the victims family, Anjo Denovo, as he begins his investigation. With the help and hindrance of Anjo, as well as a cast of characters including the best panhandler in Manhattan, a hard-boiled ex-NYPD detective, vicious drug dealers and even more vicious bankers, Mike finds himself so deeply drawn into the case it takes almost a miracle to get him out alive.
