Life after crime from the International Booker-shortlisted author of Elena KnowsFifteen years after killing her husbands lover, Inés is fresh out of prison and trying to put together a new life. Her old friend Manca is out now too, and theyve started a business - FFF, or Females, Fumigation, and Flies - dedicated to pest control and private investigation, by women, for women. But Seora Bonar, one of their clients, wants Inés to do more than kill bugs - she wants her expertise, and her criminal past, to help her kill her husbands lover, too. Crimes against women versus crimes by women; culpability, fallibility, and our responsibilities to each other-this is Pieiro at her wry, earthy best, alive to all the ways we shape ourselves to be understandable, to be understood, by family and love and other hostile forces.
