The search for an old tapestry, and the evil it spreads wherever it goes, is the background for the first book of the Apocalypse Trilogy, by Ilmar Penna Marinho JĂșnior, which addresses themes such as faith, violence, crime, greed, and sex. One of the seven tableaus missing from the Apocalypse Tapestry, the seventy-fifth, woven in the 14th century, and displayed in Chateau D'Angers, France, which shows 'the Beast caged for a thousand years", is located, centuries later, in Brazil's largest slum, Rocinha, in Rio de Janeiro, then controlled by violent drug dealers.
