\nThe Prisoner of Heaven returns to the world of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop, where Daniel, and his old friend Ferm\u00edn Romero de Torres, are tending shop. Daniel is now married with a son, and Ferm\u00edn is soon to follow. Both men lead relatively happy and quiet lives. Enter an enigmatic visitor–a grim old man with a piercing gaze–who inquires about Ferm\u00edn\u2019s whereabouts. When told he is not in, the old man proceeds to buy the most expensive item in the store, a first edition of The Count of Monte Cristo, adds a dedication and leaves it as a present for Ferm\u00edn. When Daniel reveals the details of this unsettling encounter to his friend, Ferm\u00edn reads the dedication, turns pale, and at Daniel\u2019s insistence, decides to open up about a past that has come back to haunt him\u2026a story that will leave Daniel questioning his very existence.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Returning to Sempere & Sons and The Cemetary of Forgotten Books, sidling in alongside an older Daniel Sempere and an always gregarious and charming Fermin, just can’t come soon enough. After hitting a bit of a road bump with The Angel’s Game<\/em> (REVIEW<\/a>), I have the utmost (to a silly degree, perhaps) faith that Zafon is back in the playground he’s meant to play in.<\/p>\n
