Jorge Ibargüengoitia's masterpiece is the extraordinary recreation of a real case that shocked Mexico in the 1960s, when several bodies of prostitutes appeared in different properties of the two madame, owners of three brothels. The dead are built from various testimonies, voices that gather to shape a unique literary universe.
