SECOND EDITION (Translation revised by an American writer).
BASED ON REAL EVENTS. In the 14th century, three children discovered an astonishing ancient Jewish secret. Now, a famous historian and her mysterious friend attempt to unravel it. Mystery, adventure, suspense and real history in an easy-to-read novel that won’t allow you to put the book down. Do you dare to try it?
“The Twelve Doors is the best saga of thrillers I have read in ten years. With simple language that manages to keep you in suspense until the last line. You finish a chapter and you need to read the next one. Vicente Raga it’s a real find.” Harald Brook, Tribuna Libre.
“Sell more than Ken Follet last Christmas in Spain is far from the reach of many. In my house, all my family has read it, even my three sons. Dynamic narrative and a documented novel. Very recommendable.” Roberto Marín, Florida Books.
Two stories are narrated in parallel. The first one happens in 1390, in a Jewish quarter, where some kids stumble upon a secret society that still exists nowadays. A great mystery that takes us back to that difficult period for the Jewish people. All the characters existed in their time period, and every narrated fact occurred in reality. The second story stars a group of friends in the present day that must solve a centennial-old mystery.
Without a doubt, the highlight of the series is their female main characters, the historian Rebecca Mercader and her mysterious friend Carlota Penella, whose fame has surpassed the novel series itself. It isn’t strange because they are among the most Intelligent women in Europe.
The reader changes the story every 4-5 pages. Different characters and tales are separated by more than six hundred years. It looks like two novels in one. The reader starts asking himself, why I am reading two stories with no connections? The simple answer is that you will figure it out if you keep reading. Maybe they have more connections than you think, and nothing is what it seems.
VICENTE RAGA
(Valencia, Spain, 1966, living in Ireland)
An excerpt from an interview for Tribuna Libre:
QUESTION: Why The Twelve Doors?
ANSWER: The title references the twelve doors of the medieval wall of Valencia in Spain. Don’t forget this magical number.
Q: Is it one historical novel more?
A: I wouldn’t dare classify it like that. It is another thing. It’s a thriller, mystery and suspense novel based on historical facts.
Q: What are you expecting from your books?
R: Really, I don’t know. The Spanish editions of my books are topping the charts almost three years after the launch of this novel. It’s incredible!
Q: Now, let’s talk about you. You studied for an MBA degree and learned languages… to finish up being a politician and a writer.
A: Hahahaha, if you say it like that, it seems like I’ve been doing worse, right? Having been a councilman in my hometown for more than six years, apart from being an honor, is a vocation just like being a writer.
Q: Is it your first novel?
A: Actually, I haven’t written only a novel. I have created a story that takes place over several centuries in different books. This is the first time I have written something so long, although I’m not a newcomer. My first story was written when I was fourteen and won a modest literary contest for adults in England. Furthermore, I collaborate with different social media platforms, newspapers, radios, and TVs.
Relax and enjoy a great adventure.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
