Parece un viernes de invierno cualquiera; uno de tantos. Lourdes Ros, la carismática editora de una prestigiosa editorial, se prepara para recibir a sus mejores amigas, a las que ha invitado a cenar: cuatro mujeres triunfadoras que intentan conjugar su reconocida vida profesional con las preocupaciones derivadas de la edad, la pareja, los hijos o la pérdida del estatus social. Pero el encuentro no será tan divertido como esperaban ya que sobre ellas empieza a planear el recuerdo de una joven a quien todas conocían, una inmigrante que estuvo trabajando en sus casas y que se suicidó, inesperadamente, un año atrás. Poco a poco, las cinco van intuyendo que la trágica muerte de Teresa podría convertirse en una amenaza que destape sus secretos más ocultos, sus prejuicios y sus flaquezas. Y, cuando un nuevo crimen sacude sus vidas, ya no podrán negar que detrás de las vallas de sus hermosas propiedades se esconde alguien que es capaz de matar para que la verdad nunca salga a la luz. Para que la muerte de Teresa Lanza continúe siendo un misterio insondable. -- Provided by publisher. |
