En 'La caverna de las ideas', José Carlos Somoza nos presenta una novela enigma ambientada en la época de Platón. La trama sigue a Heracles Póntor, el Descifrador de Enigmas, quien, con la ayuda del filósofo Diágoras de Medonte, investiga una serie de asesinatos de efebos en Atenas. Sin embargo, el propio texto de la novela esconde secretos que ponen en peligro a sus traductores y desafían la percepción del lector. Una obra que combina intriga policiaca con elementos filosóficos, manteniendo al lector en constante sorpresa y admiración.
