Catarina Oliveira er bare femten år da hun blir myrdet. Hun blir funnet naken på en strand i nærheten av Lisboa. Noen har slått henne i hodet med en stump gjenstand. Catarina Oliveira var i all sin ungdommelige selvsikkerhet ingen enkel person. Mange hadde motiv for å drepe henne. Politietterforsker Zé Coelho innser snart at saken har røtter i Portugals historie. Sporene peker mot revolusjonsåret 1974 – det gamle fascistregimets forbrytelser ble aldri gjort opp, og noen kan ha søkt hevn. Men etterforskningen fører ham enda lenger bakover i tiden – til den andre verdenskrig: Den tyske bedriftseieren Klaus Felsen får i 1941 valget mellom å samarbeide med det fryktede SS eller bli drept. Nazistene trenger en mann i Portugal som kan sørge for at Det tredje rike får tilstrekkelige leveranser av wolfram til krigsindustrien sin. Lisboa er i 1941 en underlig arena, der det ikke spiller noen rolle hvilken side du er på. Alt dreier seg om penger og fremtiden. Det er i denne perioden Klaus Felsen inngår en allianse som får fatale konsekvenser for en femtenårig jente et halvt århundre senere. Et lite drap i Lisboa er tildelt den britiske Gold Dagger Award.

In the 1800s, the young Clarence King was an icon of the new America: a man of adventure and intellect, a flash-in-the-pan celebrity who combined science and exploration with romanticism and charm. Robert Wilson's biography, "The Explorer King," vividly depicts King's daredevil feats including his journey to the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada, and uncovers the reasons for the shocking decline he suffered after his days on the American frontier. Through King's own rollicking tales, some true, some embroidered, of scaling previously unclimbed mountain peaks, of surviving a monster blizzard near Yosemite, of escaping ambush and capture by Indians, of being chased on horseback for two days by angry bandits, Robert Wilson offers a powerful combination of adventure, history, and nature writing, he also provides the bigger picture of the West at this time. Ultimately, King himself would come to symbolize the collision of science and business, one of the sources of his downfall. Fascinating and extensive, "The Explorer King" movingly portrays the America of the nineteenth century and the man who--for better or worse--typified the soul of the era.
