Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The year is 1901. Mexico City is under the sway of eccentric spiritualists looking for answers from the beyond and decadent writers whose orgies go on until dawn. At the lowest level of society, the brothels reek of opium and are full of lepers and thieves, while the outskirts of the city boast circuses where freaks and lunatics are the main attractions. Doctors in the city's mental asylums are experimenting with the nascent science of psychiatry, storing the brains of criminals in formaldehyde-filled jars. In this unsettling and insalubrious environment, Dr. Servando de Lizardi, a respected phrenologist, is charged with solving a brutal murder and questioning the only witness to the crime: âAngela, a seven-year-old girl who can't remember what she saw"--English translation of publisher description.
