THE SUICIDE ROOM

EVIL, LIKE LOVE, CAN BE ETERNAL

In 1912 Art Nouveau Barcelona, a young bellboy accompanies a distinguished gentleman to what appears to be an underground hotel room and leaves him alone. The gentleman sits at a desk, and after writing a goodbye letter, he takes a gun from a desk drawer and commits suicide.

The lives of two men follow parallel lines. One is a peculiar police subinspector living in 1912; the other is a journalist and art critic living in the present time.

Both are investigating the same crimes, following the same clues and chasing and being hunted by the same serial killer, but they live 100 years apart, in different time periods. Both will soon discover whether the mythical Suicide Room (the place where those who had lost everything at the Casino gambling tables were supposedly offered the discrete means to commit suicide) was real or just an urban legend, but it may cost them their lives.

Did the Suicide Room really exist or is it just an urban legend?

WAS THE SUICIDE ROOM JUST
AN URBAN LEGEND?
