He purchases the book from Don Sempere Snr and writes an inscription on the cover page:For Fermin Romero de Torres, who came back from among the dead and holds the key to the future.The book is left as a gift for Fermin. When Fermin returns to the bookshop later that and is upset by the gift that's been left for him.It's revealed that Fermin was in prison 20 years earlier with the mysterious stranger as well as David Martin (the protagonist of Zafon's second novel The Angel's Game).
