Escondidas tras los mitos de sus hermanas Juana la Loca y Catalina de Aragón, reina de Inglaterra, Isabel y María son, posiblemente, las más desconocidas de las hijas de los Reyes Católicos. Sin embargo, ambas compartieron trono con uno de los monarcas mas importantes de su tiempo Manuel I de Portugal, bien llamado el Afortunado. Autenticos pilares de la corona, gracias a la politica matrimonial de los Reyes Catolicos, Isabel, Maria, Juana y Catalina fueron tambien cuatro mujeres de carne y hueso que se sometieron resignadas a su papel de peon de los intereses politicos de sus padres. Y otro tanto le sucedio a Leonor la refinada princesa flamenca, hija de Juana la Loca y Felipe el Hermoso, moneda de cambio al servicio de su hermano el Emperador Carlos V. Las damas del rey tiene como eje narrativo a las tres esposas de Manuel I el Afortunado: Isabel, digna heredera de la Castilla medieval austera y piadosa; Maria, discreta y generosa y Leonor, sobrina de las anteriores, hermosa y culta. Pero no son las unicas protagonistas. Las cartas que Isabel y Maria cruzan con sus hermanas, Juana y Catalina, o las que Leonor dirige a su tia Margarita de Austria, gobernadora general de los Paises Bajos, se convierten en el vehiculo idoneo para conocer no solo el tragico destino de las hijas y nietas de los Reyes Catolicos, sino para recorrer los intrincados caminos de una Europa que se abria a nuevos territorios, se debatia en la controversia religiosa iniciada por Lutero, y se disponia a encarar una nueva era.

Don't imagine for one moment that I'm not watching you...The Metropole Hotel, Brighton. After a heady New Year's Eve ball, a woman is brutally raped as she returns to her room. A week later, another woman is attacked. Both victims' shoes are taken by the offender...Detective Superintendent Roy Grace soon realises that these new cases bear remarkable similarities to an unsolved series of crimes in the city back in 1997. The perpetrator had been dubbed 'Shoe Man' and was believed to have raped five women before murdering his sixth victim and vanishing. Could this be a copycat, or has Shoe Man resurfaced? When more women are assaulted, Grace becomes increasingly certain that they are dealing with the same man. And that by delving back into the past - a time in which we see Grace and his missing wife Sandy still apparently happy together - he may find the key to unlocking the current mystery. Soon Grace and his team will find themselves in a desperate race against the clock to identify and save the life of the new sixth victim...
