«Mercado de espejismos» is the novel by Felipe Benítez Reyes that won the Premio Nadal 2007, published by Ediciones Destino in hardcover (400 pages, in Spanish).
Corina and Jacob, retired art thieves, accept a commission from a Mexican with mystical leanings: to steal the alleged relics of the Magi kept in Cologne Cathedral. Benítez Reyes builds a parody of esoteric intrigue novels that becomes a reflection on the fragility of thought, the traps of imagination and the need to invent one's own life. The plot, narrated in engaging prose, moves between fascinations, appearances and unusual characters, with twists and an unexpected ending.
It is part of the Áncora & Delfín collection, where it bears number 1076. First edition, in Spanish.
Felipe Benítez Reyes is a Spanish writer. He was born in Rota, province of Cádiz, where he lives to this day.
