A powerful family saga. A dark journey to Mississippi and Oviedo at the end of the 19th century. GarcÃa Ballesteros makes us confront our darkest beings. He creates a disturbing, suffocating plot and feeds it with all those human impulses capable of bringing out the best and worst in each of us. --Óscar Reboiras, author of El caso Salgueiro New Orleans, 1897. It is the popular night of Mardi Gras, and Alexander Le Bois, heir to one of the most important families in the city, begins to show strange symptoms during the grand ball held at the French Opera. Isabella, his young wife born in Cuba and raised in Oviedo, desperately seeks help and finds only Markus, a black doctor with little credibility or access to medicine reserved for whites. When Alexandre's mysterious illness begins to spread mercilessly throughout New Orleans, Inspector Morgan De Sanctis and Dr. Schmidt, responsible for controlling epidemics, suspect that the disease does not affect everyone equally. But no one imagines that behind its spread lies a truth darker and more terrifying than any disease.
