Fiction and reality overlap in this metaphor about power which tells the life story of a tyrant. The main character glorifies in his own unique personality and uses his differences as a form of elitism rather than something to bring people together.

Joe Meteor, brief star of the boxing world, scrapes by collecting debts for a local mafia boss. But everything changes when Simon, his childhood friend who was like a brother, before life sent them off on different paths, summons him to a rooftop meeting where he tells him a dark secret and begs one last favour.
About to hit 30, Simon moves to New York with plenty of expectations, a few reservations, and little money. With his journalist reputation to elbow his way into the higher circles and his Grindr profile to make the most of his lower aspirations, Simon meets Carlos and Tomas, cohorts in the sweetness of hedonism and the sorrows of emigration.

She was the younger sister of his best friend, in love with the colour yellow and who created her own sky full of invented constellations. He was the rebel in the leather jacket who used his biro to draw everything that moved him. Together they raced through childhood, made memories and missed one another - even when the only barrier between them was the space between each other's lips.
These are uncertain, unstable times, with the desire for a new republic and repeated attempts to overthrow the monarchy of Alfonso XIII. Joaquín Córdoba is urgently summoned by his friend Mateo, and he reaches Toledo as a characteristic fog masks the city's millennial splendour from view.
"Wave of Cold" is not a novel about drugs and alcohol nor the descent into the hell of addiction. Nor is it a novel about the economic crisis, nor how this has changed the face of Madrid forever. It is not a story about individual or collective failure. No, it is simply a devastating portrait of loneliness and desperation. It is not a study of raw sexuality.
This is a novel, but also the faithful portrait of a whole era, a sharp description of what was happening in Spanish professional cycling in the years before and after the sadly famous Operation Mountain Pass. We are talking about a time of contrasts: the real estate bubble and the proliferation of public sponsorship allowed for the birth of many new teams.
