Jorge Ibargüengoitia - The Dead Girls

Accompanied by three men, a woman arrives in a town looking for the baker to exact revenge. When she finds him, she shoots him and sets the place on fire. Investigations into the crime will reveal the dark secrets of the well-known Baladro sisters, owners of canteens and brothels.

Scams, trafficking in women, clandestine burials and murders make up the sinister kingdom that the two women, Serafina and Arcángela, have built around themselves.

Las muertas is the extraordinary fiction of a real case, that of the Poquianchis, and an incomparable example of Jorge Ibargüengoitia's ability to humorously portray life from the side that hurts the most.
