La caja infinita

A man wakes up in a room. He lies naked on a cot, handcuffed to it. Beside him is a small table with a sealed envelope and a pistol with a pearly handle. Opening the envelope with his free hand, he finds a card with a short printed message: S I M P L I F Y Reading it, he is overcome by an unbearable feeling of sadness. He takes the pistol, puts it in his mouth, and prepares to pull the trigger when... he wakes up. But is this a dream, or just another layer in a dizzying labyrinth of overlapping realities in which he is imprisoned? Is his true identity that of Quentin Doñarosa, a Spanish executive sent to Mumbai by his company, or does his mind conceal something deeper? Is he the hero of his own story, the villain... or both? Thus begins a breathtaking exploration of the mysteries of the mind, an action-packed pilgrimage in search of answers to what can only be a nightmare, divine punishment, or the final act of redemption for a deranged personality. With echoes of Inception and Tenet, Víctor Conde crafts his own homage to Christopher Nolan's work in a highly conceptual and extraordinarily executed thriller, an elaborate four-dimensional puzzle in which all the pieces fit together perfectly and which will keep the reader on the edge of their seat until the very last page.
