A large cast of Spanish-language suspense authors seem to have conspired to give us no rest in readings that frantically lead us from one high-tension plot to another. Among Javier Castillo, Mikel Santiago, Víctor del Arbol o Dolores Redondo among others, they get the story options ...
One of those novels in which Stephen King he once again confirms the differential fact that separates him from any other author, a kind of verisimilitude of the extraordinary.
