A Gritty, Multi-Layered Investigation into the Lethal Legacy and Lingering Shadows of Fascist Lisbon

In 1941, neutral Lisbon is a city of shadows and desperate trades. SS officer Klaus Felsen is forced into the northern mountains to secure the tungsten Hitler’s war machine cannot survive without. Decades later, Inspector Zé Coelho investigates the murder of a young girl, only to find the trail leads directly into the rotting history of Portugal’s fascist past. As the two timelines collide, Wilson reveals how the greed and violence of the war never truly ended; they just evolved. A Small Death in Lisbon is a sharp, atmospheric thriller that proves some debts are never fully paid.
