Lost in Rio

More about the book

The story unfolds in February 1985, when three brothers and their wives visit Rio de Janeiro for carnival festivities. Their holiday takes a dark turn when one woman, Jean, vanishes in a crowded marketplace, prompting a frantic but fruitless search. Seven years later, her husband, Norman, faces the heart-wrenching task of declaring her "missing presumed dead." The narrative explores themes of loss, mystery, and the haunting questions surrounding Jean's disappearance—whether she is alive, held captive, or has met a tragic fate.
