Barcelona\, 1945: A city slowly heals from its war wounds\, and Daniel\, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother\, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The S hadow 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 sys tematically 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 s eemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secre ts--an epic story of murder\, madness\, and doomed love. (From the publish er.)
