The internationally acclaimed, New York Times bestselling author returns to the universe he created in his previous novels with a thrilling finale that introduces a captivating new heroine. In this final volume of Ruiz Zafón’s cycle set in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, the beautiful and enigmatic Alicia Gris, aided by the Sempere family, uncovers a shocking conspiracy in Spanish history. Having lost her parents during the Spanish Civil War when Barcelona was bombed in 1938, Alicia carries the scars of that trauma into her work as an investigator for Spain’s secret police. At twenty-nine, she contemplates leaving her job but is compelled by her boss, Leandro Montalvo, to solve one last case: the mysterious disappearance of Minister of Culture Mauricio Valls. Alongside her partner, the intimidating Juan Manuel Vargas, Alicia discovers a rare book by Victor Mataix hidden in Valls’ office. Valls, a former director of Montjuic Prison, is linked to imprisoned writers, including Mataix. As Alicia and Vargas delve deeper, they uncover a web of kidnappings and murders tied to the Franco regime, revealing a corruption more extensive than imagined. Alicia's relentless pursuit of the truth endangers her life, but with the support of loyal friends, she navigates the dark history of Barcelona toward a hopeful future. This haunting tale showcases Ruiz Zafón's masterful storytelling and his deep reverence for literature.
