Spanning rainforests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and glittering shopping malls, Nemesis chronicles Brazils journey into the global spotlightand the battle for the beautiful but damned city of Rio as it struggles to break free from a tangled web of corruption, violence, drugs and poverty. Nem is held at the center of it all, locked in a fight for his countrys future.From the Hardcover edition.
