It is the year 1229. Serious events in the Abbey of San Benito cause deep concern in the Crown of Aragon. A series of novices have suffered mysterious attacks in the kingdom's first all-female convent.
Determined to put an end to such strange occurences, King Jaime I and his wife Lady Leonor set off for the abbey, together with a singular nun from Navarra, famous for her powers of deduction.
Editorial Planeta
If after 'The Name of the Rose' readers expected novels that explore history by means of a criminal investigation, in 'La abadía de los crímenes' they will also find an ironic look at modern Spain.
A novel full of intrigue, love and ambition, with unforgettable characters.
