The Awana tribe, who live in the remote Amazon jungle in the Brazilian state of Pará, have dwindled to only 41 members—and now 39 of them have dropped dead of what looks like poison. The neighboring white townsfolk don’t seem to be mourning the genocide much—in fact, the only person who seems to care at all is Jade Calmon, the official tribal relations agent assigned to the area. She wants justice for the two survivors, a father and his 8-year-old son. But racism is deeply entrenched and no one is going to help her get to the truth.
Unfortunately, this is far from the first time the Brazilian federal police have had a tribal genocide to investigate. Chief Inspector Mario Silva and his team are sent in from Brasilia to try to solve the increasingly complex case just as a local white man is discovered murdered. Someone has done their best to frame the surviving Awana man, and the town is about to erupt.

From Booklist
The seventh Mario Silva mystery from the late Gage, who died in July 2013, finds the chief inspector of the Brazilian federal police investigating what could be his most tragic and complex case. Apparently, someone has murdered almost the entire population of a small native tribe living in the Amazon rain forest. Thirty-nine of the tribe’s 41 members appear to have been poisoned, and the prime suspect, based on circumstantial evidence, is one of the two surviving tribe members. In addition, a white man is also found dead. The author hits the theme of racism hard, but he makes it clear that prejudice can run both ways (a shop clerk calls Amati, the native man, a savage, but Amati also says that only a white man would be evil enough to kill an entire tribe). It turns out, too, there are plenty of people who might have wanted to see the white man dead, but can Silva penetrate the fog of racial hatred to find the truth? If this truly is the last Silva novel, it’s a fine send-off for a compelling character. --David Pitt
Review
Praise for The Ways of Evil Men
"Leighton Gage died in 2013, making this fine book, it would seem, the last Silva investigation. Given plot developments that involve an orphaned native youth, the book provides a fitting if unintended resolution to the memorable Silva chronicles."
—The Wall Street Journal
"The late Gage (1942–2013) weaves an engaging plot and psychologically complex characters together with a sharp-edged social commentary on the Brazilian class system; his voice will be greatly missed in the crime fiction community."
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review
"A final gift from Leighton to his readers . . . His voice, his portrayal of vital fictional characters and stories, his outrage at injustices in Brazil and beyond, and his lively participation in the on-line crime fiction community will remain as his testament."
—Glenn Harper, International Noir Fiction
"A fine send-off for a compelling character."
—Booklist
"Gage had it all: social conscience; complex, well-drawn characters; and superb plot development. All he lacked was the gift of another dozen years of writing, to shepherd Chief Inspector Silva safely into his retirement."
—BookPage, Top Pick in Mystery by Bruce Tierney
"Leighton Gage is one of those rare writers who can write about social issues without being pedantic. There are many facets to the issue of the indigenous peoples and their future, both in Brazil and elsewhere. Gage presents those facets within the framework of a well-written police procedural. While there is a solution to the mystery at the end, there is no pat answer to all the questions Gage presents along the way to that solution."
—P.J. Coldren, Reviewing the Evidence
"Some of the color went out of the world when Leighton Gage died, but his literary legacy is pure gold. I can't recommend his books highly enough."
—Cathy Cole, Kittling Books
"Irresistible . . . It’s sad to think this is the final Mario Silva tale we’ll enjoy. If you haven’t read the previous half-dozen installments of the series, do yourself a favor and look them up, too."
—Black Mask
"Gage's last offering is at once dark and light, depressing and uplifting, violent but also compassionate, a tale of dastardly, cowardly evil, but also of quiet, unrelenting heroism."
—Mystery Scene
"I suspect that Leighton put a lot of himself into the character of Mario Silva, both will be sorely missed."
—Crime Scraps Review
"There are few storytellers as gifted as Leighton Gage, and virtually none with his ability to convey messages of such societal importance in fast-paced, can’t-put-down mysteries that are not in any way preaching."
—Jeff Siger, writing for the New York Journal of Books
"Highly recommended. I can only urge that readers who appreciate strongly drawn characters and a well-plotted tale not miss this wonderful, final addition to a much-loved series from a writer who will be sorely missed."
—Midwest Book Review
"This marks the end of one of Brazil's most popular procedural crime series. He [Leighton Gage] will be sorely missed by his many fans around the world."
—BookLoons
"A most rewarding book. Recommended."
—I Love a Mystery
"A fitting farewell to the inspector."
—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"The complexity of the storyline together with several credible paths of misdirection make this one of the better books in this already very good series; sadly, it will also be the last."
—Mysterious Reviews
Praise for Leighton Gage's Mario Silva series
"No one writes the cold glint of evil in bright sunlight the way Leighton Gage does. And there's enough evil here—and heroism, too—for three lesser books."
—Timothy Hallinan, author of Crashed
"Top notch . . . controversial and entirely absorbing."
—The New York Times Book Review
"A dark, violent book with characters that seethe on the page . . . Compelling writing. Readers will smell the steam and stench of the Amazon and recoil from the torture and depredation from which Gage averts his lens, barely in time."
—Boston Globe
"The Silva investigations have all the step-by-step excitement of a world-class procedural series."
—The Wall Street Journal

"We've got a gang of federal cops sticking their noses into our business."
By E. Bukowsky
Leighton Gage, who spent a great deal of his time in Brazil, used his extensive knowledge of the country's political, economic, and social climate to create an outstanding series of police procedurals. His latest, "The Ways of Evil Men," published posthumously, opens with a heartbreaking scene. Anati, a member of the Awana tribe who live in the rainforest, goes hunting with his eight-year-old son, Raoni. When the two returns to their village they discover that all thirty-nine members of their tribe are dead. Who killed these men, women, and children? Jade Calmon, an employee of the federal government's National Indian Foundation, will not stop asking questions until she learns the truth. Since the local law enforcement authorities have no love for the Awana, Jade is forced to pull strings in order to bring in the big guns: Mario Silva, Chief Inspector of the Brazilian Federal Police, Arnaldo Nunes, Silva's partner, and a support team that includes other agents and an assistant medical examiner.
Why can't the locals investigate this crime? The nearest town, Azevedo, is run by the Big Six, corrupt landowners (including the mayor) who have contempt for the Indians and covet their land. To insure that no one gets in their way, they have the parish priest, the head of the local police, and a so-called environmental watchdog on their payroll. Only incorruptible law enforcement professionals like Mario Silva can be trusted to apprehend the guilty parties. Silva travels to Azevedo, where he and his colleagues interview Osvaldo Neto and his wife, Amanda, the owners of the town's only bar, restaurant, and hotel. Osvaldo is part Indian and has disdain for the bigots, liars, thieves, adulterers, and murderers who patronize his establishment. Fortunately, Silva is a tenacious detective who relishes a challenge. He will need to be clever, devious, and lucky to solve what will turn out to be a complex and ugly case.
"The Ways of Evil Men" is a hard-hitting and engrossing novel that lives up to its title. The villains (both male and female) are utterly vile. They frame the innocent, bribe people to turn a blind eye to their transgressions, and enrich themselves through legal and illegal means. Another person who takes an interest in these outrageous goings-on ia a fearless female reporter named Maura Mandel; she risks her life, expecting to make headlines with what she hopes will be a sensational story. This is a compelling, gritty, and atmospheric tale with lively descriptive writing, dark humor, and sharply-crafted dialogue. Readers will admire Silva and his associates, who are determined to prove that no one--no matter how wealthy, influential, and arrogant--is above the law.
Those of us who admired Leighton Gage's talent, creativity, and integrity will miss him greatly.

Leighton Gage has crafted a marvelous series. You've got to read these books!
By Cathy G. Cole
Reading The Ways of Evil Men was bittersweet. I have been a tremendous fan of the Chief Inspector Mario Silva books since the very first one, Blood of the Wicked. But with author Leighton Gage's death due to pancreatic cancer in 2013, it was tough knowing that this is the last book in a truly remarkable series. Each book is a seamless blend of police procedural, character study, and social commentary. I can think of no other series in crime fiction that gives such a heartfelt and unflinching portrait of a country than Gage's.
"The State of Pará was Brazil's modern-day equivalent of the old American Wild West. Life was cheap; violence, rife; ignorance and poverty, endemic."
By setting his book in a place that is identifiable to anyone remotely familiar with the American Wild West, Gage lets us know that the past isn't always past. Horrible things are still happening around the world in a daily basis, and in an area where travel is difficult and distances vast, it is a simple matter for those in charge to do whatever they like. City people aren't going to care what's happening almost a thousand miles away in a place no one's heard of. What difference does it make that a tribe has been almost completely wiped out? There were only 41 of them anyway.
The characters Leighton Gage created are the type of city people to whom such atrocities matter. All it takes is one person who refuses to accept the status quo, and in The Ways of Evil Men, that one is tribal agent Jade Calmon. She knows her limitations, but she will not quit, and it's her lucky day when Silva is assigned to the case.
Silva is another person whose moral code will not let him rest, and he's assembled a team cut from the same cloth. In many ways, he's the Marshall Matt Dillon or Sheriff Walt Longmire of Brazil. If he sees something wrong, he's going to fix it. If he has to work around corrupt or lazy officials above him in the food chain, that's exactly what he'll do, and he does it with grace, style, and a dash of humor.
Silva is the man you want on your side, and as I followed him through this investigation-- as I've followed him through six previous books-- it reminded me of how fortunate the world is that people like Calmon and Silva really do exist, and that writers like Leighton Gage tell us about them. Certain events in The Ways of Evil Men show us new, exciting directions in which the author was planning to take the series, and they will forever remain speculation amongst his fans. Some of the color went out of the world when Leighton Gage died, but his literary legacy is pure gold. I can't recommend his books highly enough.

Gage's last book is just as good, if not better, than his previous works.
By PJ Coldren
One of the qualities of a good writer is the ability to bring social causes to a reader without proselytizing or preaching; Gage is a master of this quality. He also writes a damn good mystery. Yes, I'm prejudiced; I've thought very highly of all his previous books and came to this one with the expectation that he wouldn't let me down. He didn't. The plot is believable, the characters strong, the setting as well-drawn as in all his other books. I can only mourn the loss of the writer and the man, knowing that Mario Silva will not bring me joy any more.
