Om forfatteren

Raphael Montes de Carvalho (born September 22, 1990) is a Brazilian crime novelist and lawyer. His best-known work is the 2014 novel Perfect Days.

Montes was born in Rio de Janeiro on 22 September 1990. He studied at Colégio de São Bento, where he attended middle-school and high-school. He then studied law at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, graduating in 2012.

He debuted in literature in 2009, publishing in the police anthology Assassinos S / A: Brazilian police tales (Editora Multifoco), by the editor Frodo Oliveira and organizer Jana Lauxen. His first tale to win the pages of a book was "The Teacher" in volume 1 of the anthology, where the great police writer who was to be revealed was already foreshadowed. He also published in the anthology Beco do Crime (Frodo Oliveira and André Esteves) also in 2009, by the same Editora Multifoco.

In 2010, Montes participated in a contest from Brazilian publishing house Benvirá/Saraiva, in which his novel Suicidas was awarded second place. Saraiva published the novel under their label Benvirá in 2012. The gruesome themes present in the story and Montes’ young age earned him widespread notoriety in Brazil.

In 2014, Montes published his second novel, Dias Perfeitos (Perfect Days), and as of February 2016, the novel has been released in 14 countries. Both, first and second books, had the rights sold to film adaptations.

The Village, his third book, is a fix-up horror novel throughout comics draws short stories of macabre characters are told.

The author's fourth book, Jantar Secreto (Secret Dinner), has divided opinions in 2016 when it was discovered that cannibalism was the main theme but both sides confirmed that it was the best book written by Montes.

Perfekte dage

Den indadvendte medicinstuderende Téo forelsker sig i Clarice, men hun tænder ikke på ham. Ydermere skal hun rejse bort et ukendt antal måneder for at skrive på et filmmanuskript. Hvad gør man så? Téo slår hende i hovedet med en bog, så hun besvimer. Presser hendes slanke, bøjelige krop ned i en stor kuffert, hvor han lader en sprække stå åben, så hun kan få luft. Og så ruller han af sted med hende. På den måde begynder et nervepirrende og overraskende kidnapper-roadtrip igennem Brasilien.

Thrilleren Perfekte dage er skrevet af den brasilianske forfatter og jurist Raphael Montes (f. 1990). Det er hans første bog på dansk.
