Posted on May 16th, 2009 by Jarvis in Fiction

From the master author of Shadows of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, comes his new book The Angel’s Game, which will make you believe in the power of stories all over again.

Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, ISBN 9781921520433

‘Welcome back to the gothic and mysterious Barcelona of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, where this time things take a devilish turn and the shadows get deeper and darker. Some of our friends from The Shadow of the Wind return, and new and important allies and villains await us inside the labyrinth.’ – Carlos Ruiz Zaf n

In an abandoned mansion in Barcelona a young man named David Martin makes a living by writing steamy melodramas under a pseudonym. When his own novel receives scathing reviews, it seems his publishers are plotting against him and David is destined to literary obscurity.

In a locked room deep within the house he finds letters and photographs hinting at the death of the previous owner. Like a slow poison the history of the place seeps into his bones as David struggles with an impossible love.

Then he receives an extraordinary proposal from the French editor Andreas Corelli a proposal that could make David rich and famous. And a bookseller called Sempere introduces him to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books

Prequel to the best-selling The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel’s Game is a tale of lost souls and haunting shadows set amid the winding alleyways of Barcelona during the turbulent 1920s. It is a masterful tale and spellbinding love story about the magic of books and the darkest corners of the heart.
