El escapista
by Javier Sebastián
Description
Being one of the tallest men in the world brings with it certain inconveniences. However, it also has its advantages. Above all, if you are shot, need a replacement kidney and have a twin that can give you one. There is no more suitable donor. Another advantage: you can replace each other, as Carmelo, one of the two main characters of the novel, does when he begins to live the life of his brother, who he swaps to get him out of jail. What if Rafael had been making a living from organ trafficking? And from his side, Rafael will also start asking questions. What if Carmelo was the head of a terrorist group? A cruise full of disturbing revelations, a few days in Corsica, an escape. And the realization that their lives will never be what they were.

“A novel about what we are not, nor would we ever want to be. Tender, terrible and sometimes hilarious. I have been following Javier Sebastián since his first novel, he’s one of my favourite writers." Manuel Vilas
