Book Synopsis



Un thriller histórico lleno de giros de guión y golpes de martillo. Una persecución endemoniada por todo el norte de EE.UU. entre dos mujeres: solo puede quedar una. Entre Stephen King y Jane Austen, pero con la inconfundible pluma adictiva de Michael McDowell.

Cuando en 1871 la intrépida y arruinada Philomela Drax recibe una carta de su abuelo en la que le confiesa temer por su vida a causa de una familia sin escrúpulos, los Slape, no duda en acudir en su ayuda.

Pero el tiempo apremia porque Katie, líder del clan, una joven despiadada con el don de la clarividencia y una notable habilidad criminal con el martillo, está a punto de lograr su objetivo.

Comienza entonces una persecución desenfrenada, desde las polvorientas calles de un pueblo de Nueva Jersey hasta las relucientes aceras de Saratoga, pasando por los muelles de Nueva York. Philo sabe que es un duelo a muerte. Pero lleva demasiado tiempo huyendo: ha llegado el momento de la venganza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A historical thriller full of plot twists and hammer blows. A demonic chase across the northern United States between two women: only one can remain. Between Stephen King and Jane Austen, but with the unmistakable addictive pen of Michael McDowell.

When in 1871 the intrepid and ruined Philomela Drax receives a letter from her grandfather in which he confesses to fearing for his life because of an unscrupulous family, the Slapes, she does not hesitate to come to his aid.

But time is running out because Katie, the leader of the clan, a ruthless young woman with the gift of clairvoyance and a notable criminal skill with the hammer, is about to achieve her goal.

Thus begins a frantic chase, from the dusty streets of a New Jersey town to the gleaming sidewalks of Saratoga, passing through the docks of New York. Philo knows it is a duel to the death. But she has been running for too long: the time for revenge has come.



About the Author



Michael McDowell fue un auténtico monstruo de la literatura. Dotado de una creatividad sin límites, escribió miles de páginas, con una capacidad al nivel de un Balzac o un Dumas. Como ellos, optó por contar historias que llegaran a todo el mundo. Y, como ellos, eligió el medio de difusión más popular: el folletín, o novela por entregas, en el caso de los maestros del XIX; el paperback en el caso de McDowell. Además de novelista, Michael McDowell fue un aclamado guionista. Fruto de su colaboración con Tim Burton fueron Bettlejuice y Pesadilla antes de Navidad, además de un episodio para la serie Alfred Hitchcock presenta.
