"Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals
in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and Daniel, an antiquarian book
dealer’s son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious
book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julián 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."
