Acompañada de tres hombres, una mujer llega a un pueblo en busca del panadero para cobrar venganza. Cuando lo encuentra, lo balacea y le prende fuego al lugar. Las investigaciones del crimen revelarán los oscuros secretos de las conocidas hermanas Baladro, dueñas de cantinas y prostíbulos.
Estafas, trata de mujeres, entierros clandestinos y asesinatos conforman el siniestro reino que las dos mujeres, Serafina y Arcángela, han construido a su alrededor.
Las muertas es la extraordinaria ficción de un caso real, el de las Poquianchis, y una muestra inigualable de la capacidad de Jorge Ibargüengoitia para retratar con humor la vida por el lado que más duele.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The essential writer to understand contemporary Mexico.
Accompanied by three men, a woman arrives in a town seeking revenge on the baker. When she finds him, she shoots him and sets the place on fire. The crime investigations will reveal the dark secrets of the well-known Baladro sisters, owners of bars and brothels.
Fraud, human trafficking, clandestine burials, and murders make up the sinister kingdom that the two women, Serafina and Arcángela, have built around them.
Las muertas is the extraordinary fiction of a real case, that of the Poquianchis, and an unparalleled example of Jorge Ibargüengoitia's ability to portray life with humor from the side that hurts the most.
