A Spanish author, the writer Carlos Ruiz Zafon was a highly prolific novelist within his field, with his talent and skill as a producer of numerous young adult books dating back to the early nineties, as he was a leading figure within the industry, respected by both his peers and his contemporaries. Bringing noir and crime to the genre, he is able to craft a tightly woven and complex narrative, whilst not forgoing character, something to which his many legions of fans can attest to. No stranger to adult fiction either, he has also written a number of works in this particular field too, again gaining a wide variety of readers worldwide.
