The Cemetery of Forgotten Books Series
As of 2012, there are three books in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. The first, the Shadow of the Wind, features Daniel Semper, whose father loves books – he owns a modest bookstore, and knows of the secret Cemetery of Forgotten Books, where Daniel discovers the writings of a mysterious author – Julian Carax. This book is a rare find, as someone has been purchasing every copy of Carax’s writings, and burning them.
The second book, the Angel’s Game is set before the Shadow of the Wind, and focus on David Martin, a young author who has gotten involved in some mysterious affairs. David has always been looked kindly on by the proprietor of Semper and Sons bookstore, and even sends his assistant, Isabelle, over to help out at the store. At that time, the father of the protagonist of Shadow of the Wind, is a young man, working with his father at Semper and Sons bookstore.
The third book, the Prisoner of Heaven, fills the time gap between the Angel’s Game and the Shadow of Heaven. New connections are made in this story set against a background of a dark time in Barcelona’s history.
