About the Book

Un thriller que atrapa desde la primera página, ambientado en Cantabria y con el mundo del cine como telón de fondo.

La virgen sin cabeza supone la confirmación de Pilar Ruiz como una de las grandes autoras del género criminal en España.

UNA MISTERIOSA DESAPARICIÓN.
UN ASESINO TAN MISTERIOSO COMO DESALMADO.
LA INSPECTORA DE LA POLICÍA NACIONAL MAR LANZA TENDRÁ QUE DESENTERRAR EL PASADO PARA ENCONTRAR LAS CLAVES DE UN ENIGMA PLAGADO DE MENTIRAS Y
CONTRADICCIONES.

La desaparición en pleno rodaje de un director de cine es el primer caso que investiga la inspectora Mar Lanza al ser destinada a Cantabria. Escapando de un turbio asunto que la ha convertido en una paria entre sus compañeros de la Policía Nacional, Lanza se enfrenta a un asesino misterioso y a un caso que conmociona a la opinión pública. Pocos saben que ella misma fue la única superviviente de otro caso polémico jamás resuelto y que ha marcado su vida desde que era una niña. Después de muchos años, regresa a la montaña donde nació, el lugar del que huyó pensando no volvería jamás. Entre películas de serie B, actrices del destape, corrupción y crimen organizado, Mar Lanza descubre que el mundo del cine desfila sobre una alfombra roja, pero no de terciopelo sino de sangre.

Tras conquistar a crítica y lectores con El jardín de los espejos, vuelve Pilar Ruiz con una impactante novela destinada a convertirse en uno de los grandes best sellers del año.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thriller that captivates you from the first page, set in Cantabria and with the world of cinema as a backdrop.

The Headless Virgin is Pilar Ruiz's confirmation as one of the great authors of the Spanish noir.

A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
A MYSTERIOUS AND SOULLESS MURDERER.
THE INSPECTOR OF THE NATIONAL POLICE, MAR LANZA, WILL HAVE TO DIG UP THE PAST TO FIND THE KEYS TO AN ENIGMA FRAUGHT WITH LIES AND CONTRADICTIONS.

The disappearance of a film director in the middle of filming is the first case investigated by Inspector Mar Lanza as she is assigned to Cantabria. Escaping from a shady affair that has made her an outcast among her colleagues from the National Police, Lanza faces a mysterious murderer and a case that shocks public opinion. Few know that she herself was the only survivor of another controversial case never solved that has marked her life since she was a child. After many years, she returns to the mountain where she was born, the place from which she fled thinking she would never return. Between B-movies, breakout actresses, corruption, and organized crime, Mar Lanza discovers that the world of cinema parades on a red carpet, not made of velvet but of blood.

After conquering the critics and the readers with El jardín de los espejos, Pilar Ruiz returns with an impressive novel destined to become one of the great best-sellers of the year.
