The Prisoner of Heaven

　　巴塞隆納，一九五七年。

　　聖誕將近，「森貝雷父子書店」的成員滿心歡喜地慶祝。然而，他們的幸福卻被一個神秘怪客給打斷。這名跛腳斷指的男子，藉故買了本昂貴的《基督山恩仇記》，並在書上留了一行字：「獻給費爾明：死裡逃生歸來，手握未來之鑰，13。」

　　原來，這名怪客來自二十年前一段費爾明拒絕再提的黑牢歲月。已經埋葬的秘密，重新被挖掘出來，帶來的究竟是更深的糾纏，抑或是魚死網破的釋然……

　　The third in the cycle of novels that began with THE SHADOW OF THE WIND and THE ANGEL'S GAME. THE PRISONER OF HEAVEN returns to the world of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and the Sempere & Sons bookshop.

　　It begins just before Christmas in Barcelona in 1957, one year after Daniel and Bea from THE SHADOW OF THE WIND have married. They now have a son, Julian, and are living with Daniel's father at Sempere & Sons. Fermin still works with them and is busy preparing for his wedding to Bernarda in the New Year. However something appears to be bothering him.

　　Daniel is alone in the shop one morning when a mysterious figure with a pronounced limp enters. He spots one of their most precious volumes that is kept locked in a glass cabinet, a beautiful and unique illustrated edition of The Count of Monte Cristo. Despite the fact that the stranger seems to care little for books, he wants to buy this expensive edition. Then, to Daniel's surprise, the man inscribes the book with the words 'To Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from the dead and who holds the key to the future'. This visit leads back to a story of imprisonment, betrayal and the return of a deadly rival.
