The Foreign Girls nodrm by Sergio Olguín, Miranda France (Translated by)

Verónica Rosenthal has retreated to a cousin’s remote cottage in the province of Tucumán, to recuperate from the traumatic events in The Fragility of Bodies. She befriends two female tourists –an Italian and a Norwegian-- invites them to stay and starts a sexual relationship with one of them. After a party they attend together, Verónica travels on alone but days later discovers that the women have been murdered. Suspicion falls on a local Umbanda priest, but Verónica starts to uncover a web of corruption, abuse and femicide in which government, wealthy landowners and a high-ranking official from Argentina’s ‘Dirty War’ are all implicated. Verónica’s investigation, with its unforeseen political dimensions, has alarmed new enemies who will try to stop her at all cost.Two foreign girls are murdered after a high society party in Yacanto del Valle, northern Argentina. Their bodies are found in a field near sacrificial offerings, apparently from a black magic ritual. Verónica Rosenthal, an audacious, headstrong Buenos Aires journalist with a proclivity for sexual adventure, could never have imagined that her holiday would end with her two friends dead. Not trusting the local police, she decides to investigate for herself.
