Durante más de un siglo, dos organizaciones rivales formadas por mujeres han estado dispuestas a todo por un pequeño tesoro: un fragmento bordado y deshilachado que podría ser la única pista para encontrar un mitico manuscrito medieval.Por un lado, esta la Orden de Santa Catalina, ferreas defensoras de la idea de que las mujeres deben mover los hilos desde las sombras para ejercer un poder silencioso y determinante. Por otro, la Hermandad de las Alondras, empeñadas en colocar al mayor numero posible de ellas en posiciones visibles de autoridad y en asegurarse de que jamas se conozcan los metodos empleados para lograrlo.Cuando el Instituto de Estudios de Manuscritos de Saint Andrews recluta a la brillante doctora Anya Brown, ella no se imagina que su vida corre peligro. Las Alondras, que dirigen esta institucion, no se detendran ante nada con tal de cumplir su mision.Atrapada en una antigua red de secretos, los acontecimientos toman un giro inesperado y para descubrir la verdad, y escapar con vida, la doctora Brown debera recurrir a todo su conocimiento y descifrar una serie de mensajes ocultos desde hace siglos.Vibrante, adictiva y con una carrera contrarreloj que no da respiro, La biblioteca en llamas arrastra al lector desde los solemnes claustros de Oxford, Cambridge y Saint Andrews hasta la deslumbrante ciudad medieval de Verona.Me bebi este thriller trepidante e inteligente.
