Inhaltsangabe

Ambition, corruption, and murder in 1960s Mexico: the shocking novel behind Netflix’s hit series.

‘A startlingly good book by an author of genuine, exciting originality’ - Salman Rushdie
With an introduction by Colm Tóibín

The Baladro sisters have built a thriving empire of pleasure as brothel owners in a provincial town. But when fortunes change, life in the brothel turns ugly, and slowly, girls start disappearing . . .

Based on the true story of the infamous González sisters - serial killers whose crimes shocked the world in 1964 - The Dead Girls is a deliciously dark blend of thriller, true crime, and biting satire. Written with the cold detachment of a police report, it reveals the potent blend of sex and mayhem that allowed the sisters to flourish.

Wickedly funny and profoundly unsettling, The Dead Girls by Jorge Ibargüengoitia is an unflinching portrait of ambition, power, and depravity – now a major Netflix series.
