A very compelling book, sure to be enjoyed by fans of Garcia Marquez, Umberto Eco and Perez-Reverte, with a little Grand Guignol a la Stephen King thrown in for good measure. Barcelona during the Civil War and under Franco is seen through a mystic lens, beginning with a visit to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.
