Book Descriptions:

The thrilling case that led from a petty small-time criminal to the heart of government. A gripping narrative of power, corruption and greed, The Mechanism is the true story of how a simple investigation into money laundering became a national crisis that threatened to bring down a nation. When a small team of investigators discovered some odd financial happenings at a Brazilian carwash, they could never have imagined that their work would destroy the government and lead to the impeachment of two presidents. As the trail leads further and further into the centre of power, the search for the truth and pursuit of justice become ever more crucial. The Mechanism is an essential work of non-fiction that exposes the rottenness caused when politicians and big businesses believe they are above the law. Vladimir Netto’s clear-eyed reportage makes this a taut, riveting read, with more plot twists than the most compelling political thriller. Already a classic in Brazil, it is a devastating insight into one of the biggest scandals of all time.
