Red Moon
"When the moon is full and has a red halo inside, a terrible crime will be committed that night." Madrid, 1954. Young Margot Sanz Peters returns to Spain after studying fashion journalism in London. As a member of a distinguished family of diplomats and a close friend of the most elegant ladies of the time—from Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart to Aline Griffith, the future Countess of Romanones—Margot quickly gains access to the most exclusive circles in a city moving beyond the worst years of the post-war era and beginning to embrace modernity. But Margot is much more than a fashion expert. A voracious reader of Sherlock Holmes novels, she's been fascinated by the criminal mind since childhood. So when the mysterious murder of a marquise shakes Madrid’s high society, she seizes the opportunity to join the most popular crime magazine of the time and begins collaborating with the police, testing her investigative skills in an increasingly dangerous game. In this novel that weaves glamour with threads of mystery, Nieves Herrero introduces us to a sharp-witted journalist trying to solve a series of murders in the captivating Spain of the 1950s. A true homage to the golden age of crime reporting.
