In a luxury Lisbon hotel, an Italian tourist is murdered in a particularly cruel way. There are no usable traces, but everything points to the fact that the murderer is a woman with whom the victim had sex shortly be-fore his death. And the circumstances also suggest that the motive for the murder is a very personal one. While Chief Superintendent Carina Andreia da Cunha and her team are still trying to reconstruct the last hours of the dead man, the next murder follows the exact same pattern. But this time Carina gets help, albeit from an unexpected source and in a way that not only upsets her professional life. A first clue finally leads Carina to the Museu Nacional de Arqueolo-gia de Lisboa . And here, not everything is as it seems... In the Shadow of Santa Justa - The Shepherd is My Lord is the second part of the series of crime novels around the Lisbon Homicide Chief Super-intendent Carina Andreia da Cunha. Besides the Lisbon-feeling, the read-er can also dive into the history of Portugal.
