GANADORA DEL PREMIO FREI MARTÍN SARMIENTO
Seis sospechosos cenan en el jardín de una lujosa casa de las afueras de Santiago de Compostela mientras el cadáver de Xiana Alén, de quince años, yace en el suelo anegado de sangre de su dormitorio, como si fuera una instalación artística: sus padres, su tía Lía Somoza -pintora de fama internacional-, una pareja de amigos y la anciana tía de las hermanas Somoza. Todos los indicios apuntan a Lía, pero a los pocos días esta trata de suicidarse y es internada en un hospital. El comisario Santi Abad, con la ayuda de Ana Barroso -una policía joven, fuerte y temperamental con la que le irá uniendo una intensa y conflictiva relación-, deberá destapar los secretos mejor enterrados de los Alén Somoza, una de las familias más poderosas y adineradas de la alta sociedad gallega. Una excepcional intriga en la que nada es lo que parece y nadie es quien dice ser confirma a Arantza Portabales como la nueva dama de la novela negra española.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The new dame of Spanish mystery who-done-it novels.
A crime of passion in Santiago de Compostela.
Six suspects dine in the garden of a luxurious house on the outskirts of Santiago de Compostela while fifteen years old Xiana Alen's body lies on her bedroom floor in a pool of blood, as if it were an art installation: her parents, her Aunt Lia Somoza -a world renowned painter-, a couple, and the Somoza sisters’ old aunt.
All signs of guilt point to Lia, but after a few days she tries to commit suicide and is admitted to a hospital. Inspector Santi Abad, along with Ana Barroso’s help -a young, strong, and temperamental police officer with whom he will have an intense and conflicting relationship-, must uncover the Alen Somoza family’s deepest secrets, even though they are one of the most powerful and wealthiest families of Galician high society.
An exceptionally intriguing plot, in which nothing is what it seems, and no one is who they claim to be, confirms Arantza Portabales as the new dame of Spanish crime novels.
