Arkoiris Award 2024 for Best Literary Creation
A heist that seemed perfect turns into a downward spiral. Between bars, silences, and collateral damage, a white-collar thief tries to retrace the steps of an operation falling apart piece by piece. Nothing fits quite right, no one plays fair, and every move brings the checkmate closer.
Synopsis
Time flies when you’re unconscious.
I still don’t understand how it could get so complicated. Going in and out of jail, going in and out of the hospital, and in between, Noelia Soto’s legs. I should have sensed the disaster as soon as she showed up at that bar. Stealing the painting shouldn’t have been complicated. It shouldn’t even have been hard to find it again. But this novel is the testimony of when everything goes wrong, no matter how much time you spend planning it.
Sometimes the game goes awry and the only move left is to try to avoid checkmate. But what can you do when the whole game is rigged and nothing is what it seems?
El sueño de la libélula is a twisted game of deception, the last journey of a white-collar thief who, in chess as in life, never learned how to win.
