A New Orleans cop in Rio de Janeiro - part investigation, part cultural collision, all chaos. Detective Remy Dumas of the New Orleans Police Department is dispatched to Brazil with a delicate assignment: find the missing son of a powerful U.S. senator. But nothing in Rio matches the rules he knows. Through neighborhoods where samba echoes into dawn and Carnival hides laughter and menace in equal measure, Remy learns that every lead is tangled in contradiction. Glitter and grit, comedy and danger—Rio reveals itself as both accomplice and adversary. His awkward, often hilarious encounters with Cariocas remind him that surviving the city means laughing at its chaos as much as navigating its dangers. With the help of Rita, a sharp-eyed ex cop local, Remy discovers that searching for the truth in Rio isn't about following a trail—it's about surviving a city built on mystery. Copacabana Confidential is a darkly atmospheric noir where suspense collides with absurd humor, and where the real investigation may be into the city itself.
