La sombra de la rosa

A murderer shrouded in shadows, a rose, a chain of thorns. A floating forest where fear hides terrible secrets. Cortegada Island, 1910. The discovery of the body of a girl on the day of the massacre generates great shock among the inhabitants of the estuary due to the circumstances and the atrocity of the crime. One culprit, the poet Guillermo de Foz. A sentence, death by garrote. Armenteira Monastery, Pontevedra, 2002. The restoration works of the cloister bring to light an unpublished notebook with the confession of the cursed writer Guillermo de Foz. Antía Fontán, professor of Literature at the Sorbonne, will travel to Galicia to carry out a study on this discovery. What she doesn't know is that her stay will transcend the professional. There she will discover a story of love and death, sinister interests and she will find herself involved in a series of murders perpetrated by a criminal mastermind who follows the modus operandi of the fallen angels of literature. The nicknamed Rose Killer seems to have only one recipient: her.
