«Abracadáver» is the mystery novel by Peter Lovesey, published by Livros do Brasil in paperback (192 pages, in Portuguese).
In London's music halls, a prankster sabotages performers' acts: shortening trapeze ropes, altering song lyrics, or smearing mustard on a sword-swallower's blade. When the sabotage turns to murder, Scotland Yard assigns detectives Cribb and Thackeray to find the culprit.
Third instalment of the Sergeant Cribb series; the original was published in 1972 and this Portuguese translation, signed by Eduardo Saló, in 1995.
For readers of classic crime fiction who enjoy period mysteries set in London's music halls.
