Transworld Publ. Ltd UK Phantom Of Manhattan

The international-thriller writer takes an unusual new direction with a sequel to the Gaston Leroux classic }Phantom of the Opera{, which sees the deformed but brilliant denizen of the Paris Opera House shipped off to a new life in America. There, he begins in poverty and misery but succeeds in carving out a position of unexpected power. Wonderfully romantic drama that will be lapped up by fans of both the book and musical.
