Synopsis
He wrote a spy novel.
She wanted to live one.
They accepted the game. A game with no board, no rules, and no way out.
They staged a mission. Maybe. Maybe not.
What began as a game between a burned-out writer and a woman on the edge of collapse quickly spiraled—into a VHS tape, into letters, into cities, into skin, into silence. Cádiz, Tangier, Venice, Scopello: each place a trap, each letter a code, each touch a possible betrayal.
Between fiction and reality, between pleasure and guilt, between farewell and return, the narrator drags himself through roads, beds, and wounds, searching for the woman who agreed to go undercover with him—and maybe never came back.
Because some people run.
Some stay.
And some play.
This book is for the last kind.
About Octávio Viana
Octávio Viana, a Portuguese native, debuted in the culinary world at 47 with his book "Recipes & Stories." A lifelong passion for travel, diverse cultures, and global cuisines—especially the nuances of Italian flavors—infuses his work.
His culinary journey began in youth, baking sweets and cakes for friends during school holidays. This tradition of sharing homemade creations continues today with an expanded repertoire of savory dishes from French and Spanish to Italian and his native Portuguese cuisine.
For Octávio, cooking is a multi-sensory experience, each dish a puzzle of flavors, aromas, and presentation that evokes lasting memories. Though not a professional chef, he finds joy in storytelling and fostering connection through food. He values family, friends, and the shared moments created around a meal above all else, celebrating life's richness through these experiences.
