António de Souza Menezes, o Braço de Prata, foi governador da Bahia entre 1682 e 1684. O período em que esteve no poder foi marcado pelo assassinato do alcaide-mor Francisco Teles de Menezes, o governador viu neste crime a oportunidade de punir a família Ravasco e principalmente o Padre António Vieira. Movido pelo ódio e desejo de vingar-se de seus desafectos, o Braço de Prata cometeu desatinos no decorrer da investigação do assassinato, e em consequência, teve seu mandato encurtado. Ana Miranda recriou com maestria este bocado da vida de António de Souza Menezes quando escreveu Boca do Inferno, publicado em 1989.
