The Manuscript I: The Secret-the novel that broke all sales records in Amazon in Spanish-is now available in English, German, and French. Nicholas Blohm, an author stuck in writer's block, runs into an enigmatic little man who gives him a manuscript.

To his utter amazement, all the characters in the manuscript exist in the real world, and everything he read about is taking place right now.
