AEINAPE INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST 2015"Full of humour, sensitivity, action and mystery."Discover a not-so-touristic Mexico and the bleakest Spain.SYNOPSISIn the outskirts of a tiny Galician fishing village there is a huge rock that hides a mysterious submarine cave. What happens to those who dare to go diving there? Several events from their childhood drag the protagonist and his peculiar friend back to that eerie place. They meet again, years later, and set off on a seedy trip around Mexico, full of action and dangers. The unexpected outcome of that journey changes the life of the protagonist forever. This novel is one of a kind: it offers the readers a special something; a unique quality that means the story does not leave us when we close the book. Some readers are already applying its lessons to their own lives...THE REVIEWERS SAY"'If I jump, I'll kill myself; if I don't jump, they'll kill me.' With these words, in an eerie landscape full of rocks and black waves that reminded me of Hitchcock, begins the novel The Rock of the Missing. This book keeps moving, from the initial Hitchcockian scene, later becoming a chilling road movie that takes us across a scorched Mexico, full of gunshots, drug dealers and dead bodies, and ending in a permanent return to Galicia, where the whole thing begins... I recommend you read this novel if you wish to enjoy the art Antonio Flórez uses to carve his sentences if you want to join in an adventure full of humour, sensitivity, action and mystery."Lavadora de textos, Ramón Alemán.ABOUT THE AUTHORAntonio Flórez Lage (A Coruña, 1977).
