About The Sleeping Sisters by Jennifer Givhan
Fortuna Miércoles has moved her family across the Rio Grande, hoping to escape a curse said to haunt her bloodline. But when a body is found in her backyard, a history of missing girls and women resurfaces: twenty years earlier, victims’ bones were discovered on the mesa, and the killer known as the Reaper was never caught.
Detective Jeanette Palacio, who has spent decades pursuing justice for murdered cousins and other women, is drawn into the case alongside Fortuna. Set beneath Albuquerque’s dormant volcanoes, The Sleeping Sisters brings literary horror and mystery together with a Chicana-Indigenous reimagining of the headless woman legend. Inspired by true events, it explores motherhood, inherited violence, and the dangerous bargains made to protect family.
