This article analyzes the detective novel Um Crime Capital by Francisco José Viegas, published in serial form as newspaper installments in 2001, the year in which Porto was designated as the European Capital of Culture. Besides breaking from the norms of classic detective narratives, with this book in particular, Viegas proceeds to an intertextual dialog with the author par excellence of the detective novel in Brazil, Rubem Fonseca. Several themes and narrative strategies are interpreted as attesting to one of the most relevant aspects of Um Crime Capital: namely, the inclusion of Mandrake, Fonseca’s criminal detective, as a character in Viegas’s novel.
