Assembling the pieces of information thus gained, while simultaneously attempting to deal with a serious crisis in her own life and that of her traditional family back in Recife, she and Marina, the cantina owner, grapple with a three-and-a-half-century-old mystery of successive murders, managing to save the miniscule town from dispossession and obliteration by developers of a planned gigantic seaside resortsort of.
