Book summaryLucas Corso, an antiquarian book-hunter-for-hire based in Madrid, traffics in only the rarest and most exquisite volumes. He has just accepted two jobs: one to determine the authenticity of a recently discovered manuscript reputed to be the original 42nd chapter to THE THREE MUSKETEERS, and the other, to find and compare three copies of THE BOOK OF THE NINE DOORS. But only one of these copies can be the original. The book is a 17th-century manual for summoning the Devil, and its printer was burned at the stake during the Inquisition, along with all but the one copy of the book that he hid from the authorities. In order to examine all three copies, Corso travels to Paris and Portugal, and eventually discovers the Club Dumas, a secret society whose members might be able to unlock the mystery of the volumes. A New York Times Notable Book for 1997. Similar books from this booksellerFrom this bookseller's New Age & Metaphysical catalog.
