Ocurren cosas extrañas en el convento de las Hermanas de la Compasión de Cornualles. Cosas que desconciertan a la hermana Joan, quien debe investigar -sin levantar sospechas- los misterios del convento.
A pesar de la aparente tranquilidad, ciertos hechos nada habituales sumen en un mar de dudas a la hermana Joan. No es nada frecuente dar con una priora que usa perfume y esmalte de color rosa para las uñas. Y que pregunta si la hermana Verónica, la hermosa novicia que acompaña a la hermana Joan, es virgen. Y aún hay más.
La hermana Sophia ha muerto en oscuras circunstancias. La hermana Magdalena ha desaparecido sin dejar rastro. Se celebra un oficio secreto a medianoche en la capilla del convento... La hermana Joan empieza a sospechar lo que apenas se atreve a mencionar, a ensamblar piezas de un rompecabezas complejo. Es demasiado tarde para abandonar. Y quizá también es demasiado tarde para pedir ayuda.
La hermana Joan es monja de semiclausura. Tiene un carácter fuerte y su poca paciencia le hace chocar con algunas reglas del convento. Es despierta y eficiente, cabezota, si algo la extraña sigue su instinto hasta el final. Es una mujer seria con una nota de ironía.

La hermana Joan, a cargo de una escuela rural, observa cómo estos misteriosos hechos se proyectan sobre la pequeña comunidad campesina. Como presagio de peores infortunios, una de sus alumnas escribe un angustioso poema. Días más tarde, un niño gitano desaparece. Los hechos se precipitan y la policía no tarda en intervenir. Para la religiosa, ha llegado la hora de investigar.… (mehr)
