| Summary: | In Potosí, a silver mining city in the new Spanish viceroyalty of Peru, two teen vigilantes set out to expose corruption and deliver justice after Kiki's brother is murdered and the prostitute he loved disappears. Includes author's note. By day Eustaquia "Kiki" de Sonza and Ana Lezama de Urinza are proper young seventeeth century ladies. When night falls, they trade in their silks and lace for swords and muskets, venturing out into the vibrant, bustling, crime-ridden streets of Potos̕, in the Spanish Empire's Viceroyalty of Peru. They pass their time fighting, gambling, and falling desperately in love with one another. On the night Kiki's engagement to the Viceroy's son is announced, her older brother-- heir to her family's fortune-- is murdered. The girls embark on a whirlwind investigation that takes them from the lowliest brothels of Potos̕ to the highest echelons of the Spanish aristocracy. - adapted from jacket |
