His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the
infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young
father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside
down.
Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the
largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s
most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice
to a playground of gang culture and destitution, while everyone
around him drew guns and partied. It’s a captivating tale of
gold-hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police and rich-kid
addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with maths
degrees.
Spanning rainforests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and
glittering shopping malls, this is also the story of how change
came to Brazil. Of a country’s journey into the global spotlight,
and the battle for the beautiful but damned city of Rio, as it
struggles to break free from a tangled web of corruption, violence,
drugs and poverty. With Nem at its centre, locked in a fight for
his country’s future.
