The Prisoner of Heaven - Softcover
Once again, internationally acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author Carlos Ruiz Zafón creates a rich, labyrinthine tale of love, literature, passion, and revenge, set in a dark, gothic Barcelona, in which the heroes of The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game must contend with a nemesis that threatens to destroy them.
"Gabriel García Márquez meets Umberto Eco meets Jorge Luis Borges for a sprawling magic show." --New York Times Book Review on Shadow of the Wind

Review:
"The story has heart, menace torture, kindness, cruelty, sacrifice, and a deep devotion to what makes humans tick."--New York Journal of Books
"Gripping...suspenseful...The magic of the novel is in the wonderfully constructed creepy and otherworldly setting, the likable characters, and the near-perfect dialogue."--Booklist
"Zafon's storytelling is deft and well-paced, and his vivid prose brings the cultural riches and political strife of Franco-era Spain to life."--Publishers Weekly
"Perhaps his wittiest [novel] and the darkest to date, a stylistic feat that Ruiz Zafon handles deftly...Savor this book."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Invoking the atmosphere of Dumas, Dickens, Poe and Garcia Marquez, Carlos Ruiz Zafon retains his originality and will hold his rightful place among the storytelling masters of literature."--Book Reporter
"There is an air of magical realism to Zafón's tales. The prose is robust and the dialogue rich with smart irony. But mostly, reading Zafón is great fun."--Miami Herald
"[A novel] with the blissful narrative drive of a high-class mystery... Ruiz Zafón is a splendidly solicitous craftsman, careful to give the reader at least as much pleasure as he is evidently having."--The Guardian
"A deep and mysterious novel full of people that feel real...This is an enthralling read and a must-have for your library. Zafón focusses on the emotion of the reader and doesn't let go."--Seattle Post-Intelligencer
