O Mysterio da Estrada de Cintra. Cartas ao Diário de Noticias by Eça de Queirós et al.
"O Mysterio da Estrada de Cintra. Cartas ao Diário de Noticias" by Eça de Queirós et al. is a serialized novel published in 1870. Considered Portugal's first detective story, it unfolds through letters to a Lisbon newspaper describing a mysterious kidnapping and murder. Two friends are abducted near Sintra and discover a corpse in an isolated house. As more correspondents write in—including the kidnappers, suspects, and witnesses—layers of intrigue emerge involving a
countess, masked men, and questions of guilt that captivated readers who believed the sensational events were real. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
