EDITORIAL REVIEW: From master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of the international phenomenon **The Shadow of the Wind**, comes **The Angels Game**  a dazzling new page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love.*****The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that when I opened those windows * *my new windows * *each evening its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets in my ear, that I could catch on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen***In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the citys underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner. Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed  a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.Once again, Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in **The Shadow of the Wind** and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. Through a dizzyingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.
