From the original idea to the international bestseller:
January 2003. One insomniac night, Juan Gómez-Jurado was worried about some serial killer he had read about in a newspaper. Juan asked himself once and again: How can human beings could be capable of doing that kind of things? He woke up for a glass of water and then, in the kitchen floor (Juan was single those days, and didn’t understood the advantages of being orderly), there was a black shirt messed with a white t-shirt. In the darkness, Juan believed it was a clerical shirt with a priest collar, and then came the idea. Could a priest be a serial killer? How could it be possible?
He started working that same night. But finishing the novel took up nearly thirty months of intense work and investigation. He prepared his mind for the long battle of tears and deception that uses to suffer writers with his first manuscript... but none of this happened. Juan sends his manuscript to Antonia Kerrigan, well-known agent of Javier Sierra and Carlos Ruiz Zafon. In less than two months, God’s Spy was sold to Spain, Italy, Holland and Norway. When the North American agent Thomas Colchie received the manuscript, he found himself devouring it as a burning flame. In his own words, "It totally won me over". Then Colchie achieved the best deal a non-American novel writer ever had: Dutton buyed God’s Spy for 175.000 USD. The rest is history. 28 countries (to date) is going to publish God’s Spy, and as Antonia Kerrigan said to Juan a few months ago: "You can go around the world buying your book in a different edition in each border. What do you think about it?"
Juan didn’t answered. His brain was very busy. That same night was a insomniac night, and he got the idea for a different novel. But this, of course... is a different story.
