House of Paper - The Escape Book

Book summary: I would have liked to own a dog, but I do not have a dog. I do not have a fixed house nor a fixed girlfriend. What I have is everything I need and can hide in the pockets of my jeans. Today I finished my penultimate life project. My whole life insists again and again on staying at the banks instead of going out to the open sea. I swear I try to make things look good, but I think I was born under a bad omen and that is how I will die. Unlucky and lonely and poor, or at least that’s what I thought until this morning when the gatebell rang. It was the mailman bringing me a package wrapped in dark paper with a tied ribbon around it. The package arrived without a sender’s address. But there’s no need for that. I know exactly who sent it to me. In fact, I was waiting for it. My name is Khairo Lamarca and I was the first colleague of Sergio Marcina (the professor), the most famous in this country, Robin Hood whom all police forces are looking for. Money Heist (La Casa de papel) returns to us here through its unique character, to tell us the hidden details of what we do not know yet, through an old friend who tracks the signs left by his friend (the professor) and what he narrates to him in his mysterious letters about the old group that shook society and the world of money and the hearts of their followers. The story of hidden footsteps and erased traces until knowing the full truth. Author’s name: Ivan Tapia and Mounsi Lindh. Translation: Shifa Al-Saden. Number of pages: 210. Year of publication: 2020. First edition. Paperback cover.
