"New York Times "bestselling author Javier Sierra returns with a
heart-pounding thriller about mankind's most ancient desire--and
the modern evil some will unleash to obtain it.
"An elaborately woven novel of intrigue about one of America's most curious and enduring legends -- the enigma of the Lady in Blue" In Los Angeles, Jennifer Narody has been having a series of disturbingdreams involving eerie images of a lady dressed in blue. What she doesn't know is that this same spirit appeared to leaders of the Jumano Native American tribe in New Mexico 362 years earlier, and was linked to a Spanish nun capable of powers of "bilocation," or the ability to be in two places simultaneously. Meanwhile, young journalist Carlos Albert is driven by a blinding snowstorm to the little Spanish town of Agreda, where he stumbles upon a nearly forgotten seventeenth-century convent founded by this same legendary woman. Intrigued by her rumored powers, he delves into finding out more. These threads, linked by an apparent suicide, eventually lead Carlos to Cardinal Baldi, to an American spy, and ultimately to Los Angeles, where Jennifer Narody unwittingly holds the key to the mystery that the Catholic Church, the U.S. Defense Department, and the journalist are each determined to decipher -- the Lady in Blue.
"Javier Sierra, autor del bestseller internacional" LA CENA SECRETA, "nos ofrece ahora una novela de misterio e intriga sobre una de lasleyendas mas antiguas y extranas de America -la dama azul." En Los Angeles, Jennifer Narody, antigua espia del Departamento de Defensa, suena repetidamente con una fantasmagorica mujer vestida de azul. Jennifer no lo sabe, pero ese mismo espiritu se aparecio mas de tres siglos atras a los jefes de una tribu indigena de Nuevo Mexico. Al parecer, la verdadera responsable de aquellos sucesos fue una monja espanola que podia "bilocarse" -esto es, que tenia la habilidad de estar en dos lugares a la vez. Mientras, en Espana, una nevada deja aislado al periodista Carlos Albert en el remoto pueblo de Agreda. Alli conocera el convento que fundo en el siglo XVII aquella mujer de habitos azules. Intrigado por sus poderes, decide investigar. Estos hilos, unidos por el presunto suicidio de un sacerdote en Roma, llevaran a Carlos hasta Los Angeles, donde las pesadillas de Jennifer Narody guardan la clave de un misterio que la Iglesia Catolica, el Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos y otras misteriosas fuerzas de las que es mejor no hablar, estan empenados en ocultar. El secreto de las bilocaciones de la dama azul esta en juego.
