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. 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... Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Angel's Game is a masterful tale and spellbinding love story about the magic of books and the darkest corners of the heart.
