    "description": "<p><strong>&lsquo;Breaking Bad&rsquo; meets &lsquo;City of God&rsquo; in this gripping account of an ordinary man who became Brazil&rsquo;s most wanted criminal</strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong>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.</p>\n<p><em>Nemesis</em> 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a captivating tale of gold-hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police and rich-kid addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with maths degrees.</p>\n<p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s future.<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>As read on Radio 4 Book of the Week</strong></p>",
