Mystery intertwines with literature in gothic Barcelona.

"The Prisoner of Heaven" envelops you in a world that feels both enchanting and dark, with a touch of the gothic allure that Barcelona of the 1950s exudes. If you enjoyed "The Shadow of the Wind," this novel not only builds on that rich tapestry of characters and intrigue but adds a layer of depth to Fermín Romero de Torres, one of the most charismatic figures in the series. It's the perfect blend of suspense and a love letter to literature, connecting past and present in a narrative that promises to haunt and enthrall.

Description

The Prisoner of Heaven returns to the world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop. It begins just before Christmas in Barcelona in 1957, one year after Daniel and Bea from The Shadow of the Wind have 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.
