Illusion Also Kills

By José David Martín

When a character sells 2,000 copies in ten countries with no other support than that of the readers, you have to think that he is doing something right. Jonathan Silencio, a supernatural detective with a hardboiled style, has done it in his Spanish version.
I publish now his first adventure in English where you will find an action story, a search for entertainment that pays homage to the most classic pulp with a modern and current style. You will be able to accompany Silencio in two parallel investigations, in which he will try to protect an old woman victim of a spell while trying to capture a thief who seems to be endowed with magical powers. Sex, black humor, a deep humanity and an immense capacity to get into trouble define the adventures of this detective who moves in perfect balance between classic and modern times.
The novels and short stories by Jonathan Silencio and J.D. Mart n have found great acceptance in the Spanish market, being present in more than twenty anthologies, places as prestigious as C rculo de Lovecraft, Pulporama, Dentro del Monolito or the podcasts Orbita Arrakis, Territorio Extra er or Terror y Nada M s. At the time of the publication of this book, the story "Derrota y miel" by Jonathan Silencio is being adapted into a short film whose trailer can be seen at Themaniegas.com.
