Try this Spanish thriller if you want to work out how one piece of architecture governs a whole prison.

Choose this Spanish thriller if you’d rather hear suspects argue through a math problem than watch them outrun a monster.

Two men wake up chained on opposite sides and have to decide whether the instructions they find shed light on the room or on each other. It’s much nastier than the YA choices, with a mystery…0
