Synopsis "The Evidence"

Todd Fremde is an author, a writer of police procedurals and criminal mysteries. Invited to the remote island of Dearth, far across the Dream Archipelago, to talk at a conference, he finds himself caught up in a series of mysteries. How can Dearth claim to be completely crime-free, yet still have an armed police force? Why are they so keen for him to appear, but so dismissive when he arrives? Is his sense of time confused, or is something confusing happening to time itself?And how does this all connect with a murder committed on his home island, ten years before, and seemingly forgotten? Fremde's investigation and research will lead him to some dangerous conclusions... Christopher Priest is a genre-leading author of SFF fiction. His novel, THE PRESTIGE, won a number of awards and was adapted into a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film directed by Christopher Nolan (TENET, INCEPTION) starring Hugh Jackman (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, X-MEN), Christian Bale (THE BIG SHORT, BATMAN BEGINS), Michael Caine (THE ITALIAN JOB) and Scarlett Johansson (MARRIAGE STORY, THE AVENGERS).

Christopher Priest (born James Christopher Owsley in 1961) is an American comic book writer recognized for being the first African American to serve as a writer and editor in the mainstream comic industry. Throughout his career, he has worked for publishers such as Marvel, DC, and Valiant, standing out for his innovative approach to characters like Black Panther, Deathstroke, and Quantum & Woody. His style is characterized by complex plots, non-linear narrative structures, and a deep psychological exploration of the characters.

Among his most recent works is Superman: Lost (2023), a 10-issue miniseries published by DC Comics and translated into Spanish as Superman: Perdido. In this story, Superman is trapped in space for 20 years, although only minutes pass on Earth, creating a profound impact on his identity and relationship with Lois Lane. The series has been praised for its emotional approach and introspective narrative, consolidating Priest as an influential voice in the evolution of superhero comics.
