    Granada, 1585. En una ciudad devastada tras la Reconquista, Sor Ana de Jesús, apodada «la capitana» por su mano firme, lucha por sacar adelante su convento cuando el cadáver de un hombre horriblemente desfigurado aparece en el claustro de su cenobio, poniendo así en peligro la reputación de su orden. ¿Quién era y cómo ha llegado hasta ahí? A pocos kilómetros, en una colina que domina la Alhambra, un hombre rige los destinos de los monjes de la misma orden. Es San Juan de la Cruz, guía espiritual y amigo íntimo de la priora. Sor Ana de Jesús y fray Juan, el dúo detectivesco más singular de la novela negra española, tendrán que investigar lo sucedido intentando mantener la discreción mientras van desvelando un secreto que hará temblar el bastión de la cristiandad de la Corona.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    1585. A WAVE OF CRIMES LOOMS OVER GRANADA.

    THE AGE OF THE WOMAN CAPTAIN BEGINS.

    Cordoblack Award; Cubelles Noir Award; Granada Noir Festival Award; Avuelapluma Literature Award.

    Granada, 1585. In a city ravaged after the Reconquest, Sister Ana de Jesús—nicknamed “the Captain” because her firm hand—struggles to keep her convent afloat when the body of a horribly disfigured man is found in the cloister, threatening the reputation of her order. Who was he, and how did he end up there?

    A few miles away, on a hill overlooking the Alhambra, a man guides the monks of the same order: Saint John of the Cross, spiritual mentor and close friend of the prioress. Sister Ana de Jesús and Friar John—the most singular detective duo in Spanish crime fiction—must investigate the mystery while keeping discretion, uncovering along the way a secret that will shake the very foundations of the Crown’s Christian stronghold.
