El suicidio de una joven inmigrante altera las vidas de cinco mujeres y sus familias en un idílico y acomodado barrio residencial.
Una novela intrigante y turbadora sobre la hipocresía, la amistad, la inmigración y los privilegios, escrita con pulso brillante por uno de los autores más renovadores del género negro en España.
Parece un viernes de invierno cualquiera; uno de tantos. Lourdes Ros, la carismática editora de una prestigiosa editorial, se prepara para recibir a sus mejores amigas, a las que ha invitado a cenar: cuatro mujeres triunfadoras que intentan conjugar su reconocida vida profesional con las preocupaciones derivadas de la edad, la pareja, los hijos o la pérdida del estatus social.
Pero el encuentro no será tan divertido como esperaban ya que sobre ellas empieza a planear el recuerdo de una joven a quien todas conocían, una inmigrante que estuvo trabajando en sus casas y que se suicidó, inesperadamente, un año atrás. Poco a poco, las cinco van intuyendo que la trágica muerte de Teresa podría convertirse en una amenaza que destape sus secretos más ocultos, sus prejuicios y sus flaquezas.
Y, cuando un nuevo crimen sacude sus vidas, ya no podrán negar que detrás de las vallas de sus hermosas propiedades se esconde alguien que es capaz de matar para que la verdad nunca salga a la luz. Para que la muerte de Teresa Lanza continúe siendo un misterio insondable.
La muerte no es siempre el final de una historia; a veces no es más que un nuevo e inquietante principio.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The suicide of a young immigrant alters the lives of five women and their families in an idyllic and affluent residential neighborhood.
An intriguing and disturbing novel about hypocrisy, friendship, immigration and privilege, written with a brilliant pulse by one of the most innovative authors of the black genre in Spain.
It seems like an ordinary Friday in winter; one of many. Lourdes Ros, the charismatic editor of a prestigious publishing house, is preparing to receive her best friends, whom she has invited to dinner: four successful women who try to combine their renowned professional life with the concerns derived from age, partners, children or loss of social status.
But the get together will not be as fun as they expected since the memory of a young woman whom everyone knew begins to overshadow it, an immigrant who was working in their houses and who committed suicide, unexpectedly, a year ago. Little by little, the five of them intuit that Teresa's tragic death could become a threat that uncovers their most hidden secrets, their prejudices, and their weaknesses.
And, when a new crime shakes their lives, they’ll no longer be able to deny that behind the fences of their beautiful properties hides someone capable of killing to ensure that the truth never comes out. So that Teresa Lanza's death continues to be an unfathomable mystery.
Death is not always the end of a story; sometimes it's just a disturbing new beginning. "
