Posted on by

From the author of the international phenomenon, The Shadow of the Wind, comes The Angel s Game, a new page turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that, when I opened those windows, its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets I could capture on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Mart n, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city s underworld But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed a book with the power to change hearts and minds In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.Once again, Zaf n takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in the Shadow of the Wind and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy Through a dizzingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.
