Pereira's 2013 book Mensalão is a collection of his articles about the August–December 2012 trial of those involved in the 2005 Mensalão corruption scandal. In a review, Reinaldo Azevedo praised Pereira for not being “part of the growing ranks of those who write to please or displease” or “the type who marches out of step only to draw attention.” It also praised him for his ability to strike a balance “between the details and the whole picture....throughout the book, one follows the flow of the story, but without losing the delectable details.”
