Author Book List

The internationally acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Carlos Ruiz Zafón takes us into a dark, gothic Barcelona and creates a rich, labyrinthine tale of love, literature, passion, and revenge in which the heroes of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game must contend with a nemesis that threatens to destroy them.

Barcelona, 1957. It is Christmas, and Daniel Sempere and his
wife, Bea, have much to celebrate. They have a beautiful new
baby son named Juliån, and their close friend FermÍn
Romero de Torres is about to be wed. But their joy is
eclipsed when a mysterious stranger visits the Sempere
bookshop and threatens to divulge a terrible secret that has
been buried for two decades in the city's dark past. His
appearance plunges FermÍn and Daniel into a dangerous
adventure that will take them back to the 1940s and the
early days of Franco's dictatorship. The terrifying events
of that time launch them on a search for the truth that will
put into peril everything they love and ultimately transform
their lives.

Full of intrigue and emotion, The Prisoner of Heaven is a majestic novel in which the threads of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game converge under the spell of literature and bring us toward the enigma hidden at the heart of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a collection of lost treasures known only to its few initiates, and the very core of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's enchanting fictional world.
