El palacio de la medianoche (The Midnight Palace)

A fun quick read

Zafon Characterizes this book, along with El Principe de la Niebla, Las Luces de Septiembre, and Marina--as children books. They should be read in that context. The Midnight Palace is the meeting place of a secret society (Chowbar Society) of seven orphaned children from the St. Patrick's orphanage in the 1930's Calcutta. There, Ben, a twin, is dumped on a rainy night by his grandmother in an effort to keep them safe from a ghost. At age sixteen, the orphans are released to face life as adults and on the last meeting of the Chowbar Society, Sheere, Ben's twin is made a member of the society. Together the society solves the mystery of the twins tragic history and fight the dangers that confronts all of them. Not as good as La sombra del viento or el Juego del Angel, but still makes for a great read.
