Police

A police officer is trained to investigate.
To observe, collect evidence, and reconstruct events.
To separate what happened from what can be proven.
But what happens when the system itself begins to shape the narrative?

Police: Rabbits, Frogs, and the Monster is a true account of life inside the Brazilian criminal justice system - from the inside of police work to the limits of legal process.

Through real investigations, homicide cases, and the daily reality of policing in one of the most complex environments in the world, the book exposes how crime, law enforcement, and institutions interact under pressure.

It also follows a different kind of case.
One in which the author himself becomes the target.

Accused, imprisoned, and processed by the same system he once served, he is forced to confront a structure capable not only of investigating facts, but of shaping them.

Within this system, outcomes do not always emerge from evidence alone.

Some fit.
Some are made to fit.
And some never belonged there at all.

This book is not about a single case.
It is about how a system can fabricate, sustain, and eventually correct an accusation - without ever taking responsibility for it.

And what remains after that process ends.
