Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon 531 pages.
In Barcelona, young David Martin enters the world of writing by penning sensational serials under an assumed name. Neither writing nor true love come easily to him. The girl he worships marries his mentor. Living in an abandoned mansion, he enters a strange agreement with a reclusive French editor that could make him incredibly wealthy or cost him his sanity.
This is the first novel that I have read by Zafon. I don't want to offend his fans, but he could be the Spanish hermano of Stephen King. Both have written about the art and demands of writing. Both explore troubled childhoods. And both describe dark journeys caused by inner demons.
