INTO MACAU

Plot

On July 16, 1948, seaplane Miss Macau was making another trip between Macau and Hong Kong. Among the passengers on board was a group of Chinese who would try to hijack the aircraft, causing it to crash into the sea, killing crew and passengers. The only survivor would be murdered years later, at the jail door, after his release. For what reason?

The price of gold, whose regulation defined by the Treaty of Bretton-Woods during World War II had led to illegal trading, had given rise to a frenzy in the circulation of this precious metal in the area. But on that summer day, the Matco / Cathay Pacific device also carried something desired by many influential people from Macao and China. Who is behind Miss Macau's hijacking attempt, the first in aviation history? And why?

Based on a historical fact, Fernando Sobral builds an exciting thriller, bringing to the reader the game of political interests in conflict in a China in civil war, creating, at the same time, a faithful portrait of the universe of intrigues and ambitions, fears and interests of the Portuguese community in Macau.

A captivating historical novel!
