LA MONJA DETECTIVE QUE EST? HACIENDO HISTORIA EN MEDIO MUNDO

«Un debut tan asombroso como inapelable. Con las primeras cinco p?ginas ya me enamor? de este libro . -Gillian Flynn

«Qu? manera de revitalizar el g?nero. Una trama magn?tica. Hac?a tiempo que no ve?a una primera novela as? . -Don Winslow

Cuando el pir?mano que anda suelto por Nueva Orleans decide prenderle fuego a la escuela Saint Sebastian, con un desenlace mortal, todo cambia para la comunidad que la dirige, las Hermanas de la Sangre Sublime. En especial para la deslenguada sor Holiday, una monja que fuma y va tatuada de la cabeza a los pies, y entre cuyas virtudes no destaca precisamente la paciencia. Cansada de esperar a que la investigaci?n policial avance y de que repetidamente duden de ella, decide tomar las riendas del asunto.

Su misi?n la llevar? por un tortuoso camino repleto de sospechas bajo el asfixiante calor de Nueva Orleans. Interrogar? de manera pertinaz a colegas docentes, estudiantes e incluso a algunas de sus hermanas. Sin duda, sor Holiday tiene m?s fe que muchos (y que muchas), pero tampoco es ninguna santa: si quiere descubrir qu? pas?, tambi?n deber? enfrentarse a algunos de los pecados de su propio y secreto pasado. Lo que no sabe es cu?l de las dos tareas ser? m?s sencilla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A USA TODAY Bestseller - A New York Times, Apple Books, and The Guardian Best Crime Novel of the Year - An Indie Next Pick - Winner of the Pinckley Prize for Crime Fiction - Longlisted for the Mass Book Award - A Finalist for the ITW Thrillerfest, New England Book, Left Coast Crime "Lefty", and Anthony Awards

Sister Holiday, a chain-smoking, heavily tattooed, queer nun, puts her amateur sleuthing skills to the test in this "unique and confident" debut crime novel (Gillian Flynn).

When Saint Sebastian's School becomes the target of a shocking arson spree, the Sisters of the Sublime Blood and their surrounding New Orleans community are thrust into chaos.

Patience is a virtue, but punk rocker turned nun Sister Holiday isn't satisfied to just wait around for officials to return her home and sanctuary to its former peace, instead deciding to unveil the mysterious attacker herself. Her investigation leads her down a twisty path of suspicion and secrets, turning her against colleagues, students, and even fellow Sisters along the way. And to piece together the clues of this high-stakes mystery, she must at last reckon with the sins of her own past.

An exciting start to a bold series that breathes new life into the hard-boiled genre, Scorched Grace is a fast-paced and punchy whodunnit that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
