The Prisoner of Heaven

The third in the cycle of novels that began with The Shadow of the Windand The Angel's Game. Daniel is minding the Sempere & Sons bookshop when a mysterious figure enters. He spots one of their most precious volumes, The Count of Monte Cristo, and wants to buy it. 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.
