, his new thriller “moves forward determinedly and at a steady pace, revealing unique characters who are faced with the same situation in parallel universes. The twists and surprises in the plot come thick and fast in a storyline where nothing is what it seems, and where the feelings of love and desperation intertwine, creating a spider web loaded with emotions.”

) and based on Paul Pen’s novel of the same name, describes how Nico, a ten-year-old child, receives a letter containing a death threat, but no one around him seems to believe him. Jon, a man obsessed with numbers, is investigating a series of deaths that have taken place in the same place over the years and that seem to follow the same pattern. Deciphering this sequence will be the only way to save the child.
