A well-know bibliophile is found hanged days after selling a rare manuscript of Alexander Dumas's classic, The Three Musketeers. Across Madrid, Spain's wealthiest book dealer has finally laid his hands on a 17th-century manual for summoning the devil.

Every book hides a curse - and someone willing to pay the price.

When a rare-book dealer is found dead after selling a manuscript of The Three Musketeers, investigator Lucas Corso follows a trail of forgery, satanic texts and obsession across Europe.

Blending history, mystery and menace, Pérez-Reverte’s The Dumas Club is both homage and warning - a cerebral thriller about collectors who’ll trade their souls for a first edition.

‘Stylish, intelligent and utterly absorbing’ The Times

‘A riveting literary mystery steeped in intrigue and danger’ El País
