About this book

Silvia Maldonado mató a la niña Perla. La tomó de los hombros y la estampó contra el mármol de la mesa de la cocina.  Ese asesinato desató varios problemas, el principal, que Perla es su hija, la única. La muerte, además, complica la candidatura a gobernador de su esposo, Calvin Martínez, quien obtendría el cargo a través de un fraude electoral. Esta historia policial se desarrolla en una ciudad mexicana asolada por el narcotráfico. Ahí la violencia es parte de todo, se ha metido en las alacenas de las familias y en los rezos de las madres, que piden por la seguridad de sus hijas, porque desde hace varios años se registra una desaparición sistemática de niñas pobres. Por cierto, Silvia Maldonado es la hija de “El Casero”, un mítico narcotraficante que está detrás de la ola de violencia que ahoga a la ciudad. Como ella es mujer, su esposo, Calvin, heredará el liderazgo del cártel cuando “El Casero” se jubile. Sin embargo, matar a su hija libera a Silvia de ataduras que ni sabía que tenía. ¿Será que podrá utilizar lo que ha sucedido para tomar su lugar como legítima heredera de “El Casero”? Al menos, lo va a intentar. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silvia Maldonado killed the girl Perla. She grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her against the marble of the kitchen table. This murder unleashed several problems, the main one being that Perla is her daughter, the only one. Furthermore, the death complicates the candidacy for governor of her husband, Calvin Martínez, who would obtain the position through electoral fraud. This crime story unfolds in a Mexican city ravaged by drug trafficking. Violence is everywhere there, it has infiltrated the pantries of families and the prayers of mothers, who plead for the safety of their daughters, as there has been a systematic disappearance of poor girls for several years. By the way, Silvia Maldonado is the daughter of "El Casero," a mythical drug lord behind the wave of violence choking the city. Since she is a woman, her husband, Calvin, will inherit the cartel's leadership when "El Casero" retires. However, killing her daughter frees Silvia from bonds she didn't even know she had. Will she be able to use what has happened to take her place as the legitimate heir of "El Casero"? At least, she's going to try.
