Granada, 1585. In a city ravaged after the Reconquest, Sister Ana de Jesús--nicknamed "the Captain" because her firm hand--struggles to keep her convent afloat when the body of a horribly disfigured man is found in the cloister, threatening the reputation of her order. Who was he, and how did he end up there?

A few miles away, on a hill overlooking the Alhambra, a man guides the monks of the same order: Saint John of the Cross, spiritual mentor and close friend of the prioress. Sister Ana de Jesús and Friar John--the most singular detective duo in Spanish crime fiction--must investigate the mystery while keeping discretion, uncovering along the way a secret that will shake the very foundations of the Crown's Christian stronghold.
