Truth and Retribution
Truth and Retribution. The story of a monster - Paolo Martinez. He has sworn to protect the public, but he manages to terrorise all the street children of Rio. If we’ve learned one thing on this journey, it’s that the streets of Rio offer atrocities around every corner, particularly for the vulnerable street children. So how can a so-called protector turn his back on them? Has some event in his past turned him into this monster? Because people aren’t born evil. Or are they? The second to last instalment in The Children from the Streets series is not a story for the fainthearted. So, take heed, this book may give you nightmares… for when the truth comes out, retribution isn’t far behind.

About the author
Maria Gibbs
12 books117 followersMaria Gibbs is a multi-genre author whose passion for reading and writing has been a lifelong affair. From an early age, she found solace and adventure in the pages of books, a love that naturally evolved into crafting her own compelling stories. Maria's works are known for their emotional depth, often leaving readers with a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking experience.
Her debut publication, the novelette As Dreams are Made on, introduces readers to a young woman trapped in a dream world, saved by a mysterious man with hidden motives, while her husband battles to save her in reality. This gripping tale set the stage for Maria's distinctive storytelling style.
To date, Maria has published three novelettes and seven novels, with a treasure trove of over forty story ideas waiting to be brought to life. Among her impressive repertoire, the most acclaimed is the Children from the Streets series. Set in Brazil, this six-book saga was inspired by Christina Lamb’s Small Wars Permitting, which Maria discovered while researching for another series. What began as a standalone novel, A Boy from the Streets, evolved into a series as the characters demanded their stories be told.
By day, Maria manages properties in West London, but her true aspiration is to make writing her full-time career. With a growing collection of published works and a multitude of stories yet to be written, Maria Gibbs continues to enchant readers, one heart-rending tale at a time.

Book 39 of my Goodreads Challenge 2019
I received an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of this book from the author. Many Thanks.
Being a massive fan of this book series I could not wait to slip between the pages of Book Five. Yet I must warn unwary readers, that if you are following this series then this book although much shorter than the others is a very dark read.
Pure evil sits within the pages of this book 'Truth & Retribution' and we find it in the guise of A true monster - Paolo Martinez.
Book 5 of Children From the Streets most definitely is NOT for the faint-hearted. You will find this to be a truly chilling read. Yet highly recommended (If you have the stomach for it?)
