Part of the author's 'Niebla' series, 'The Watcher in the Shadows' is a haunting and atmospheric novel that blends elements of mystery, horror, and coming-of-age themes. Set in Spain during the 1940s, the story centers around a young Irene Sauvelle who moves with her family to a coastal town where her mother has been hired as a housekeeper to the enigmatic toymaker Lazarus Jann. As Irene explores her new surroundings, she uncovers dark secrets surrounding the town's history, including tales of a tragic shipwreck and a malevolent force known as the Prince of Mist. "These novels deliberately harken back to bygone days. They remind me of what the discovery of reading meant to me. I hope they remind you too, regardless of your age" (Carlos Ruiz Zafón).
