THE ANGEL'S GAME

The author of THE SHADOW OF THE WIND once again enchants readers with his exquisite prose in this dazzling suspense novel about the perils of literary obsession and love. This novel tracks David Martín, a reclusive Barcelonan author struggling with an impossible love and the challenge to write a theological fable unlike any other in existence. Narrator Dan Stevens achieves the perfect nuances for all the novel's characters—at once compelling and passionate, then smoothly shifting to the spooky timbre of the more bizarre cast. His accents are subtle, soft, urgent, and true. Zafón says of his intended quartet of related works, "If SHADOW is the good girl in the family, THE ANGEL'S GAME would be the wicked gothic stepsister." A delicious, unforgettable listen. A.W.
