UN ASESINO TAN MISTERIOSO COMO DESALMADO.
LA INSPECTORA DE LA POLICÍA NACIONAL MAR LANZA TENDRÁ QUE DESENTERRAR EL PASADO PARA ENCONTRAR LAS CLAVES DE UN ENIGMA PLAGADO DE MENTIRAS Y CONTRADICCIONES. La desaparición en pleno rodaje de un director de cine es el primer caso que investiga la inspectora Mar Lanza al ser destinada a Cantabria. Escapando de un turbio asunto que la ha convertido en una paria entre sus compañeros de la Policía Nacional, Lanza se enfrenta a un asesino misterioso y a un caso que conmociona a la opinión pública. Pocos saben que ella misma fue la única superviviente de otro caso polémico jamás resuelto y que ha marcado su vida desde que era una niña. Después de muchos años, regresa a la montaña donde nació, el lugar del que huyó pensando no volvería jamás. Entre películas de serie B, actrices del destape, corrupción y crimen organizado, Mar Lanza descubre que el mundo del cine desfila sobre una alfombra roja, pero no de terciopelo sino de sangre. Tras conquistar a crítica y lectores con El jardín de los espejos, vuelve Pilar Ruiz con una impactante novela destinada a convertirse en uno de los grandes bestsellers del año.

THE INSPECTOR OF THE NATIONAL POLICE, MAR LANZA, WILL HAVE TO DIG UP THE PAST TO FIND THE KEYS TO AN ENIGMA FRAUGHT WITH LIES AND CONTRADICTIONS.
