EL PRIMER CASO DE BERTA Y MARTA MIRALLES, DOS INSPECTORAS QUE HACEN HISTORIA
Una gran novela negra, audaz e impactante, por una autora premiada y con más de 3 millones de lectores en el mundo.

Por la ganadora de los Premios Planeta, Nadal, Pepe Carvalho, José Luis Sampedro, Femenino Lumen, Fregene Internazionale, Women Fiction Festival de Matera Award, Grinzane Cavour y Raymond Chandler

«Pionera en la novela negra en dar protagonismo a la mujer y una de las autoras más traducidas en este género. Rompió el estereotipo enarbolado por policías (masculinos) arrasados por la vida y abrió camino a otras escritoras . --RTVE

La presidenta de la Generalitat Valenciana, Vita Castellá, aparece muerta en la habitación de un lujoso hotel de Madrid. La comprometida situación exige que quede oficialmente descartado un posible asesinato y que la investigación encalle, de manera que el partido en el poder, al que la víctima pertenece, ha activado todos los recursos y ha hecho sonar todos los teléfonos de las altas esferas que le puedan ayudar a ganar tiempo. Por su parte, el jefe de la policía de la Comunitat Valenciana decide ayudar al ministro del Interior y al director de la Policía Nacional, Juan Quesada Montilla, en su misión: despistar a las autoridades. Para ello ponen el caso en manos de dos inspectoras novatas y peculiares: las hermanas Berta y Marta Miralles. Radicalmente opuestas entre sí, deberán enfrentarse juntas a un turbio mundo de intereses.

Alfaguara Negra se enorgullece de acoger en su catálogo a «la gran dama de la novela negra española (El Confidencial ) con este primer caso apasionante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE FIRST CASE OF BERTA AND MARTA MIRALLES, TWO INSPECTORS THAT MAKE HISTORY.

A great noir novel, bold and shocking, crafted by a laureate author with over three million readers worldwide.

A new novel by the recipient of the Planeta, Nadal, Pepe Carvalho, José Luis Sampedro, Femenino Lumen, Fregene Internazionale, Women's Fiction Festival at Matera, Grinzane Cavour, and Raymond Chandler awards.

"Pioneer in noir novel, in giving prominence to female characters, and one of the most translated authors of the genre. She has broken the stereotype brandished by policemen devastated by life, and has opened new roads to other writers." --RTVE

The President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Vita Castellá, is found dead in a luxurious hotel room in Madrid. Such a compromising situation demands that the possibility of murder gets officially ruled out and the investigations cease, and so, those in the ruling party, which the victim had been a member of, have activated every resource and phoned everyone in the highest spheres that might help them buy some time. Meanwhile, the Chief of Police of the Comunitat Valenciana decides to help the Minister of Interior and the National Police Director, Juan Quesada Montilla, in their mission: distract the authorities. For such a purpose, they leave the case in the hands of two new and peculiar inspectors, sisters Berta and Marta Miralles. Radically different from each other, together they will face a shady world of hidden agendas.

Alfaguara Negra is proud to incorporate "the great lady of Spanish noir novel" (El Confidencial) to its catalogue with this first exciting case.
