Synopsis "La Babilonia, 1580 / Babylon, 1580 (in Spanish)"

En el esplendor de Sevilla acecha el terror. Elogiada por Carmen Mola y Alicia Giménez Bartlett, vuelve Susana Martín Gijón, renovando el género negro con un thriller monumental y un secreto que pudo cambiar la Historia. Año del Señor de 1580. Sevilla vive su momento de máximo esplendor como capital del comercio entre el Nuevo y el Viejo Mundo. La Flota de Indias de Su Majestad está a punto de zarpar cuando la piel arrancada del rostro de una mujer y su cabellera pelirroja aparecen ajustadas como un disfraz macabro al mascarón de proa de la Soberbia, el buque de guerra que abre el convoy. Próxima al barrio portuario del Arenal, en una zona cercada por altos muros, se encuentra La Babilonia, el prostíbulo más cotizado de la Mancebía y donde ejerce Damiana. A pocos metros de allí está el convento de las carmelitas descalzas, donde vive en clausura sor Catalina. Ambas fueron amigas en la infancia y se verán unidas de nuevo a fin de averiguar quién cometió tan brutal asesinato y por qué. Para hacerlo pondrán en peligro sus propias vidas, pero también el secreto mejor guardado de la Corona. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the splendor of Seville, terror lies in wait. Acclaimed by Carmen Mola and Alicia Giménez Bartlett, Susana Martín Gijón revives the noir genre with a monumental thriller and a secret that could change history. The Year of Our Lord 1580. Seville is at the height of its splendor as the capital of trade between the New World and the Old. His Majesty's Indies Fleet is about to set sale when the crew discovers the skinned face and scalp of a redhaired woman placed like a macabre mask over the figurehead of the lead warship, the Soberbia [Pride]. Near the port district of El Arenal, shut in by high walls, is Babylon, the city's most exclusive brothel, run by its madam, Damiana. Just meters away is the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites, home to Sister Catalina. These unlikely childhood friends reunite to discover who committed the brutal murder, and why. In the process, they risk not only their lives but also the Crown's most closely guarded secret.
