Olavo Bettencourt is an important man, a man of spin. With Brazil adjusting to t
he new idea of democracy, his PR firm holds the balance of power in its hands. W
hich has also made Olavo very rich, if not very popular. Loathed by his trophy w
ife and mired in a web of political corruption that spreads from Sao Paolo to Sw
itzerland, Israel and New York, Olavo is an obvious target for extortion. And wh
at better leverage can there be but the kidnapping of his only son. Except that
the child on his way home from school in Olavo's armour-plated car, intent on hi
s colouring book as the gang closes in is not Olavo's son.
