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 ...

The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series is one of my favourite of all time, there is a sensitivity and understanding of human nature that Zafón captures beautifully. A must read in my opinion.
