Who are Rebecca and Carlota? Do you think you know it? Maybe you are wrong. Find it out!

Continuation of “The Twelve Doors” series. #3 Instant bestseller historical mystery thriller in the USA on the day of its release. #1 bestseller in Spain and Mexico. More than 600,000 readers around the world.

IMPORTANT: This is the fifth book of the saga. You need to read the previous four books, all available on Amazon.

“The Twelve Doors is the best saga of thrillers I have read in ten years. With simple language that manages to keep you in suspense until the last line. You finish a chapter and you need to read the next one. Vicente Raga it’s a real find.”Harald Brook, Tribuna Libre.

“Sell more than Ken Follet last Christmas is far from the reach of many. In my house, there isn’t one that hasn’t read it, even my three sons. Dynamic narrative and a documented novel. Very recommendable.”Roberto Marín, Florida Books.

Two stories narrated in parallel. The first one is about the Holy Inquisition in Spain, where the main characters are the European humanists Luis Vives, among Erasmus of Rotterdam and Thomas More. All the characters lived in their time period, and every narrated fact occurred in reality. The second story stars a group of friends from the actual Valencia that discover that the mystery they thought was solved, in reality, has just started.

Their main characters are still the historian Rebecca Mercader and her mysterious friend Carlota Penella, whose fame has surpassed the novel series itself. It isn’t strange because they are among the most Intelligent women in Europe.

The reader changes the story every 7-8 pages. Different characters and tales are separated by more than six hundred years. It looks like two novels in one. The reader starts asking himself, why am I reading two stories with no apparent connections? The simple answer is that you will figure it out if you keep reading. Maybe they have more connections than you think, and nothing is what it seems.

Mystery, thriller and real history, a cocktail that makes the universe of ‘The Twelve Doors’ a novel series that is entertaining and easy to read that won’t allow you to put the book down.

An excerpt from an interview from Tribuna Libre

Q: Why this title for the book?
A: It’s the last phrase. That’s how the novel ends.
Q: And that’s it?
A: No, far from it. Maybe, this is the most revealing part of the entire “The Twelve Doors” saga,
except the end, of course. Many unknown things until now are discovered, which have great relevance in the development of the story and in preparation for the end. However, the novel ends with a great question, which will mark the sixth part, entitled “Rebecca Must Die.” Thrilling great mystery!
Q: Do we continue with the background of the Inquisition in the historical part and with the same characters in the current part, in the 21st century, right?
A: Yes, the main characters are the same, but they discover certain details that will set the end of the saga.It’s an important book.
Q: Now, let’s talk about you. You studied an MBA degree, learned languages… to finish up being a politician and a writer.
A: Hahahaha, if you say it like that, it seems like I’ve been doing worse, right? Having been a councilman in my hometown for more than six years, apart from being an honor, is a vocation just as being a writer.

Be prepared to know who are Rebecca and Carlota.
Unexpected!
