Description
Step into a world of rare books, shadowy conspiracies, and literary intrigue with Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s acclaimed masterpiece, The Club Dumas. This sophisticated mystery follows Lucas Corso, a “book detective” and mercenary scout for collectors, who is hired to authenticate a fragment of a manuscript from Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers.
However, the job takes a darker turn when Corso is drawn into the study of The Nine Doors of the Kingdom of Shadows, a 17th-century manual for summoning the devil. As Corso travels across Europe—from Madrid to Paris—he finds himself trapped in a plot where the line between fiction and reality begins to blur. With echoes of classic adventure novels and occult lore, this is a bibliophile’s ultimate thriller.
This hardcover edition is in great condition, preserving the tactile experience of a story that celebrates the physical beauty of books. It is the perfect acquisition for fans of intellectual puzzles, historical mysteries, and the inspiration behind the film The Ninth Gate.
