La novela El diagnóstico combina la acción y la intriga con la reflexión sobre la condición humana. Tras un chequeo rutinario, un alto ejecutivo de la banca, de 45 años, se entera de que padece una enfermedad incurable. Según el médico, su esperanza de vida es de solo unos meses. Desesperado, el banquero decide liarse la manta a la cabeza y disfrutar al máximo del poco tiempo que le quede. Pronto se verá inmerso en un torbellino de consecuencias inesperadas. El contraste entre los bajos fondos y su lujoso mundo se refleja en una mujer de extraordinaria belleza que acapara el hilo de la narración.
