David is a 13-year-old boy living with his family in a modest home in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná - Brazil. His father, a despicable alcoholic who finds pleasure in abusing his wife during his spare time, is found murdered one night outside a nightclub. After an investigation, the police conclude that all evidence points to a single suspect: the boy himself, David. The problem arises when David's mother is also murdered shortly afterward, and now both deaths are attributed to him. His father was worthless; but why would David kill his mother?

But what secret could be behind the deaths of the boy's parents? Doubting his sanity, David begins to investigate, but each discovery only raises more questions, and the young man is faced with a disturbing dilemma: to what extent can he believe in his reality?

It’s a few days before the 14th General Election. The P117 candidate makes a strong bid for the seat. “Segambut is symbolic for Malaysia. This is a crucial seat. When you go out to vote, remember, the nation is looking at you Segambut voters.” The intriguing claim sets Satya off on a journey of Segambut memories – that left strong imprints, and some dark shadows. In the Disco era, Satya’s father built his ideal house in Kampung Sungai Jerneh, a thriving commune along Segambut’s grandest landmark, its railway line. Its settlers bonded through politics, pop culture, “river meetings” and the lure of curry and wajik. As such hamlets morphed into a skyscraper township, the railway line became an obscure prop.

Will Malaysia Baru really care? (Buku Fixi) (Fixi Novo)
