ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Jorge Ibarg engoitia Library brings together the author's narrative, essays, plays, and journalism, all marked by his dark humor and irony in portraying the most shadowy layers of Mexican reality. Las muertas takes a horrifying true case--the Poquianchis--and transforms it into fiction.

Together with three men, a woman arrives in a town seeking revenge for an old grievance. Once they find their target--Sim n, the baker--they shoot him and set his shop on fire. The baker survives the attack and later identifies the culprit at the Public Prosecutor's Office: Serafina Baladro, his former lover. Both are accused of carrying out a clandestine burial, but the crime investigations uncover the dark secrets of Serafina and her sister Arc ngela, owners of taverns and brothels, as well as their sinister involvement in a series of frauds, human trafficking, mass graves, and murders.
