by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
This is the third book in a loosely connected series by this author about and continues the story started in the first book Shadow of the Wind. In this book the son of the bookstore owner is happily married and has a young child, business is not great but things start to pick up. Then, an ominous stranger arrives with a threat.
The book then goes on to describe activities that happened decades before in a prison in the citadel on the hill in Barcelona. One of the prisoners is an author, another is Fermin Romero del Torres. Both of these men are friends of the bookstore owner and his son. Del Torres has been thought to have died in the prison, the story describes the details of his successful escape.
This book was an interesting read, as were the other two, but I have to admit that I got a bit mixed up with the details of the connections between the three books. I think I would have to read all three again to get a better understanding of the story.
