Overview
La nueva voz de la novela policiaca en español, con una segunda novela tan sorprendente como la primera
Una muerte en el pueblo de San Lorenzo de El Escorial es un hecho reseñable, pero mucho más si se trata de una monja que no pertenece a las congregaciones de la zona. Con la ayuda de la reticente brigada Cano, la teniente Karen Blecker deberá ahondar en el pasado de sor Lucía, una mujer enérgica que dedicó su vida a la creación y al desarrollo de una moderna planta hospitalaria. Entretanto, los dos investigadores se verán inmersos en una oscura pesquisa que los conducirá desde las zonas más acomodadas de su localidad hasta los barrios periféricos del Madrid, obligándolos a revisar sus convicciones y cuestionarse la presunta rotundidad del bien.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The new voice in Spanish crime fiction, with a second novel as amazing as the first.
A death in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is a noteworthy fact, but even more so if it is a nun who doesn’t belong to any of the nearby congregations. With the help of a reluctant Sargent Major Cano, Lieutenant Karen Blecker must delve into Sister Lucía’s past, an energetic woman who devoted her life to the creation and development of a modern hospital ward. Meanwhile, both detectives will find themselves immersed in a dark investigation that will take them from the wealthiest parts of town to the outskirts of Madrid, forcing them to review their convictions and question the presumed rotundity of goodness.
