Once upon a time, there was a woman the press called the Hyena-Woman. Infant
Annihilator. Witch. Child-Chopper. Butcher of Little Angels. Monster. The
Ogress of Colonia Roma.
Julián and I called her Mother.
When the writer Ignacio Suárez is sent photographs of two murdered women,
mirroring a passage of his very own detective novel, he drops everything to
uncover who is responsible. What no-one suspects is that the origin of these
crimes lies in the forgotten, real-life story of Felícitas Sánchez, the
midwife turned child-killer who became known in the 1940s as "The Ogress of
Colonia Roma".
Diary entries and newspaper articles come together in this gripping tale to
reveal how the woman called Felícitas, who grew up in a small community in La
Huasteca, Mexico, became the infamous child trafficker and murderer in the
country's capital, and how her long-ago crimes are linked to a wave of
killings.
Verónica E. Llaca evokes a tale of cursed bloodlines, forcing us to question
the origin and inheritance of evil and how far we can truly escape our past.
