The Angel's Game
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
The Angel's Game is Carlos Ruiz Zafon's second novel, the follow-up to The Shadow of the Wind. The Angel's Game takes place sometime before The Shadow of the Wind, but some of the people and places have remained. Those that read Shadow of the Wind will recognize Sempere & Sons, Barcelo, and of course, The Cemetery of Forgotten Books.
This novel is much darker and sinister than the first, but again Zafon spins a fantastic tale that touches on both the best and worst of people. The Angel's Game tells the story of David Martin, a writer, who has lost his father and the woman he loves to another man. He is writing trashy penny novels under a false name for some no-good publishers when he meets "the boss" who makes him an offer he cannot refuse. However, things are not as they seem and David quickly gets himself drawn deeper and deeper into the vicious plans of "the boss" and others. Will he be able to escape their clutches in one piece? Or will he be doomed as those before him went in the City of the Damned?
Zafon makes the characters and Barcelona come alive once again. Another fantastic page-turner that I spent all evening finishing.
