About the Author
JAVIER CASTILLO grew up in Malaga. He studied Business and a Master's in Management at ESCP Europe. Considered a bestselling author and a master of suspense, his work has been published in more than 90 countries, translated into 24 languages, and has captivated more than 2,500,000 readers in Spain alone. El día que se perdió la cordura, his first novel, broke the mold of thrillers and became an editorial phenomenon. The audiovisual rights have been acquired for the production of the television series. His acclaimed book saga starring Miren Triggs - La chica de nieve, El juego del alma, and La grieta del silencio - has marked his great international leap. The adaptation of La chica de nieve on Netflix became the most-watched series in the world upon its release and gave rise to a saga that continues with El juego del alma. Added to all this success is the adaptation of El cuco de cristal, which is already in production. El susurro del fuego, his latest novel, is one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
