From master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, comes The Angel's Game - a dazzling new page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love.

In the turbulent and mysterious Barcelona of the 1920s, David Martin, a young novelist obsessed with a forbidden love, receives an offer from an enigmatic publisher to write a book like no other before - a book for which "people will live and die." In return, he is promised a fortune and, perhaps, much more.

Once again, the author of The Shadow of the Wind takes us into the gothic universe of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance and tragedy, and a dizzingly constructed labyrinth of secrets where the magic of books, passion and friendship blend into a masterful story.

  • Expected to much

    After having read Shadow of the Wind, I waited years for a new book from this author in English, so I was really excited about this book. Shadow of the Wind was my favorite book of all time, needless to say this did not live up to my expectations. If you read this without having read Shadow You may enjoy it more. I found this to be a bit confusing, I'm still not 100% sure what was going on, maybe I need to read it again? I don't want to say to much and give anything away, but if you're a fan of Stephen King you may enjoy this. If you have not read Shadow of the Wind buy it, great book.

  • Starred ReviewFans of Zafn's The Shadow of the Wind and new readers alike will be delighted with this gothic semiprequel. In 1920s Barcelona, David Martin is born into poverty, but, aided by patron and friend Pedro Vidal, he rises to become a crime reporter and then a beloved pulp novelist. David's creative pace is frenetic; holed up in his dream house--a decrepit mansion with a sinister history--he produces two great novels, one for Vidal to claim as his own, and one for himself. But Vidal's book is celebrated while David's is buried, and when Vidal marries David's great love, David accepts a commission to write a story that leads him into danger. As he explores the past and his mysterious publisher, David becomes a suspect in a string of murders, and his race to uncover the truth is a delicious puzzle: is he beset by demons or a demon himself? Zafn's novel is detailed and vivid, and David's narration is charming and funny, but suspect. Villain or victim, he is the hero of and the guide to this dark labyrinth that, by masterful design, remains thrilling and bewildering. (June) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
