Madrid, 1957. Daniel Sempere and his spouse Bea have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas. They just welcomed a gorgeous boy called Julian into the world, and their good buddy Fermín Romero de Torres is about to tie the knot. However, their happiness is short-lived as an enigmatic visitor who stops by the Sempere bookstore threatens to reveal a horrible truth that has been hidden in the dark history of the city for twenty years. His arrival throws Fermín and Daniel on a perilous journey that transports them to the gloomy early days of Franco's tyranny in the 1940s. The horrific events of that period set them out on a path filled with betrayal, mistrust, retaliation, and falsehoods as they seek the truth that will endanger all they hold dear and ultimately change their lives.
Rich in mystery and feeling, The Prisoner of Heaven is a magnificent book where the strands of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game come together under the influence of literature to reveal the mystery at the centre of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books—a hoard of lost treasures that is known only to a select group of initiates—and the centre of Carlos Ruiz Zafón's enthralling imaginary universe.
