Luck, finally, seems to be smiling on them. Then a mysterious person enters the shop, buys the most expensive volume on display — an illustrated edition of The Count of Monte Cristo — and inscribes in it the words 'For Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from among the dead and holds the key to the future. 13'. Who is he? What does he want? The answer lies in a terrible secret, hidden for two decades. ..a tale of imprisonment, betrayal, murder- and love, leading back into the heart of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. --back cover
