THE ANGEL'S GAME
CARLOS RUIZ ZAFON
'Draws with relish on all the conventions beloved of Wilkie Collins, Dickens... then weaves them into something entirely original and surprisingly moving'--OBSERVER
In an abandoned mansion in the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martín, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym.The survivor of a troubled childhood, he 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 an unsolved mystery.Like a slow poison, the history of the place and an impossible love bring David close to despair. But then he receives a letter from a reclusive French editor who makes him the offer of a lifetime
'A heady brew of detective thriller, supernatural horror tale, magical realist fable and a heartbreaking love story'--DAILY MAIL
