Uno de los Top 100 Novelas de Fantasía de Todos los Tiempos de la Revista TIME -- Ahora en español!

Una adolescente de Texas se enfrenta al fantasma de su primo y jura desenmascarar al asesino. Elatsoe --Ellie, para abreviar-- vive en los Estados Unidos de hoy, pero en una realidad alternativa, moldeada por las magias ancestrales y los saberes propios de los grupos indígenas e inmigrantes. Ellie puede despertar el espíritu de animales muertos y, lo más importante, de su perro fantasma Kirby. Cuando su primo, al que adora, muere, todo apunta a un accidente automovilístico, pero su fantasma le dice lo contrario: lo asesinaron.

Quién lo mató y cómo murió? Con la ayuda de su familia, su mejor amigo Jay y la memoria de su tatarabuela en sexto grado, Elatsoe debe rastrear al asesino y desentrañar el misterio de este pueblo espeluznante y su oscuro pasado. Será posible que los siniestros habitantes del pueblo y un misterioso doctor la detengan antes de que pueda empezar?

La impresionante novela debut de Darcie Little Badger presenta a una protagonista adolescente asexual y apache --y combina misterio, horror, noir, conocimiento ancestral, ilustraciones inquietantes y elementos de fantasía-- en uno de los libros más comentados de los últimos años.

Who killed him and how did he die? With the help of her family, her best friend Jay, and the memory great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother, Elatsoe, must track down the killer and unravel the mystery of this creepy town and it's dark past. But will the nefarious townsfolk and a mysterious Doctor stop her before she gets started?
