ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind comes a riveting masterpiece about love literature and betrayal Like his previous novels Zafons The Angels Game is set in Barcelona and also revisits the mysterious Cemetery It is however neither a sequel nor a prequel but an independent narrative that elaborates a coherent increasingly complex fictional universe

In this powerful labyrinthian thriller David Martn is a pulp fiction writer struggling to stay afloat Holed up in a haunting abandoned mansion in the heart of Barcelona he furiously taps out story after story becoming increasingly desperate and frustrated Thus when he is approached by a mysterious publisher offering a book deal that seems almost too good to be real David leaps at the chance But as he begins the work and after a visit to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books he realizes that there is a connection between his book and the shadows that surround his dilapidated home and that the publisher may be hiding a few troubling secrets of his own Once again Ruiz Zafn takes us into a dark gothic Barcelona and creates a breathtaking tale of intrigue romance and tragedy

The extraordinary tale that follows is many things at once mystery love story supernatural thriller historical drama gothic romance and meditation on the primal importance of stories of narrative itself As the author reminds us throughout this novel books have souls and reflect the souls of both their readers and their writers The Angels Game beautifully illustrates this proposition and offers further proof that Carlos Ruiz Zafon was one of the most compellingand unpredictablestorytellers of the modern era
