The Prisoner of Heaven

The third book in Carlos Ruiz Zafon’™s Shadow of the Wind trilogy, The Prisoner of Heaven returns to the world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop. The novel opens just before Christmas in Barcelona in 1957, one year after Daniel and Bea from the first novel in the cycle, The Shadow of the Wind, have got married. They now have a son, Julian, and are living with Daniel’™s father at Sempere & Sons. Fermin still works with them and is busy preparing for his wedding to Bernarda in the New Year. However something appears to be bothering him. Daniel is alone in the shop one morning when a mysterious figure with a pronounced limp enters. He spots one of their most precious volumes that is kept locked in a glass cabinet, a beautiful and unique illustrated edition of The Count of Monte Cristo. Despite the fact that the stranger seems to care little for books, he wants to buy this expensive edition. Then, to Daniel’™s surprise, the man inscribes the book with the words ‘˜To Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from the dead and who holds the key to the future’™. This visit leads back to a story of imprisonment, betrayal and the return of a deadly rival.Carlos Ruiz Zafon is the author of six novels, including the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, and The Angel`s Game. His work has been published in more than forty different languages, and honoured with numerous international awards. He divides his time between Barcelona, Spain, and Los Angeles, California.
