Robert L. Fish's Captain Da Silva series

We’ve just added the entirety of Robert L. Fish’s wildly popular Captain Jose Da Silva series to our eBook collection! Titles include -- in order -- The Fugitive, Always Kill a Stranger, The Bridge that Went Nowhere, Brazilian Sleigh Ride, Isle of Snakes, The Xavier Affair, The Green Hell Treasure, Trouble in Paradise, and The Shrunken Head.

The series follows Interpol Captain Jose Da Silva, a master detective stationed on the beautiful -- but dangerous -- streets of Rio de Janeiro. Whether he’s investigating Nazi fugitives (The Fugitive), jungle magic (The Shrunken Head) or missing treasure (The Green Hell Treasure), Da Silva uses his native knowledge of Brazil to solve the crime. And though his home base is centered in Rio, his cases often find him traveling to the country’s exotic northeast or plunging into the depths of the Amazon, which means that the setting of these tales  is as enthralling as their action.

Robert L. Fish became an author after a successful career as a civil engineer and a nine-year stint living and working in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His first short story was published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and his first novel, The Fugitive, won the Edgar award for best first novel.
