O Homem Que Matou Getúlio Vargas by Jô Soares

An irreverent historical caper follows a multilingual, perpetually unlucky assassin as he ricochets from the salons and battlefields of early 20th-century Europe to the corridors of power in Rio, crossing paths with spies, revolutionaries, and demagogues. Through a string of botched hits and absurd coincidences, his misadventures intertwine with real events and ultimately set off the political crisis that ends in a Brazilian president’s suicide, blending suspense, black humor, and satirical takes on national myths.
