Novelist Carlos Ruiz Zafon's novel "Shadow of the Wind sold some 14 million copies worldwide. His latest novel "The Angel's Game," seems set to be a similar best-seller.

They are both gothic novels set in Zafon's hometown of Barcelona Spain in the early 20th century. They both include strange goings-on involving books.

"The Angels's Game" tells the story of David Martin, a writer who's commissioned by mysterious publisher to write a book for which people will live and die." It launches an adventure filled with passion and murder.

Zafon told Euan Kerr the book is more than just a creepy story.
