Knjiga ukradenih priča

D. J. Mcintosh

John Madison, a New York art dealer, goes to London to buy an Italian collection of fairy tales from the seventeenth century at an auction for an unknown customer.

The book has an incredibly mysterious past and brings misfortune to all who come into contact with it. A strange man who claims to be the author of the book steals Madison's book before delivering it to the client. In search of her, Madison enters the world of eccentric European aristocracy and collectors of rare books. It reveals the dark origins of the world's most famous fairy tales and their connection to necromancy and deadly Mesopotamian disease. New York, London, Naples, Baghdad are just some of the locations where the action of this superb thriller takes place. "The book of stolen stories is phenomenal in every sense of the word. D. J. McIntosh uses stories and fairy tales for children as clues that lead to a dark and terrifying secret hidden in the heart of contemporary Mesopotamia. A joy to read!” Katherine Neville
