The Shadow of the Wind

Z is for Zafon. Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in what he finds in the cemetery of lost books, a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julian Carax. But when he sets out to find the author s other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax s books in existence. Soon Daniel s seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona s darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love."
