The host country is Brazil. All eyes are on the country's principal striker, Tico "The Artist" Santos, the greatest player in the history of the sport. All the politicians in Brasilia, from the President of the Republic on down, have their seats squared away for the finale, when they hope to see Argentina, Brazil's bitter rival, humbled by the Brazilian eleven. But then, just three weeks before the first game, Juraci Santos, Tico's mother, is kidnapped. The star is distraught. The public is appalled. The politicians are outraged. And the pressure is on Chief Inspector Mario Silva to get her back. Suspects aren't lacking. Among them are a cabal of Argentineans, suspected of having spirited the lady away to put Tico off his game; the star's gold-digging, top-model girlfriend, whom his mother dislikes and has been trying to get out of his life; his principal rival, who wants to play in the World Cup in Tico's place; and the man whose leg Tico broke during a match, thereby destroying his career. In the end, Silva and his crew discover that the solution to the mystery is less complex--but entirely unexpected"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Silva, Mario (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police $z Brazil $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soccer players $v Fiction. 611 20 $a World Cup (Soccer) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Brazil $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Police Procedural. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 2 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20201212015303.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926015317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF75FC5C57A211E1BF1873E96AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
