The long-awaited return of Miguel Aguerralde to the thriller and the comeback of his most beloved character, Matt el Rojo.
A wave of disappearances shakes the island of Gran Canaria. The victims vanish without a trace: no footprints, no clues, no thread to follow. They simply disappear and are never seen again.
Somewhere there is a place where nightmares are born. It is real, although hidden, and no one would want to open their eyes there. Matt el Rojo, the investigator created by Miguel Aguerralde, has only a few hours to find that place before it is too late.
In El hotel de los juguetes rotos the author returns to the thriller and brings back his most iconic character to face a high-stakes investigation, full of tension, twists, and atmosphere. The hotel in the title, halfway between a physical setting and a collective nightmare, becomes the center of a case that combines classic detective fiction, psychological terror, and the pace of a page turner. The novel keeps the reader on edge until the last page and confirms Aguerralde as one of the strongest voices in the crime genre set in the islands.
Dare to cross the threshold and enter the hotel of broken toys. Leaving there may no longer depend solely on you.
