Das Spiel des Engels

Barcelona in the turbulent years before the Civil War: Young David Martín makes a living as an author of horror stories. Misunderstood as a serious writer, threatened by a deadly illness, and betrayed in the love of his life, his great expectations seem to dissolve into nothing. Yet one person believes in his talent: the mysterious publisher Andreas Corelli offers him a deal that is both a promise and a temptation. David cannot resist and is unaware of the grip he is falling under and the terrifying whirlpool of events he is about to enter.

With irresistible narrative power, Carlos Ruiz Zafón draws us back to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books: right into a cosmos filled with suspense and fantasy, friendship and love, horror and intrigue. Into a world ruled by the diabolical desire for eternal beauty.
