«El Retrato de la señora Charbuque» is the suspense novel by Jeffrey Ford published by La Factoría de Ideas in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
In 1893 New York, portraitist Piero Piambo accepts an exceptional commission: to paint Mrs Charbuque without ever seeing her. Seated before a screen, he has only her accounts to imagine her face, while a series of murders rocks the city and his relationship with Mrs Charbuque grows increasingly unsettling.
The original English novel, The Portrait of Mrs Charbuque, won the World Fantasy Award in the novel category in 2003. This title belongs to the Línea Maestra collection, no. 25, from La Factoría de Ideas.
For readers of suspense and mystery set in the past who enjoy plots where art and identity intertwine.
