Winner of an English PEN 'PEN Translates!' award. Barcelona, 1952:
General Franco's fascist government is at the height of its
oppressive powers, casting a black shadow across the city. When
wealthy socialite Mariona Sobrerroca is found dead in her mansion
in the exclusive Tibidabo district, the police scramble to seize
control of the investigation. Ana Marti Noguer, an eager young
journalist, is surprised to be assigned this important story,
shadowing Inspector Isidro Castro. But Ana soon realises that a
bundle of strange letters unearthed at the scene point to a
sequence of events dramatically different from the official
version. She enlists the help of her cousin Beatriz, a scholar, and
what begins as an intriguing puzzle opens up a series of
revelations that implicate the regime's most influential figures.
The two women have placed themselves in mortal danger. As the
conspiracy unfolds, Ana's courage and Beatriz's wits will be their
only weapons against the city's corrupt and murderous elite.
