Description
The Phantom of Manhattan by Frederick Forsyth is set 12 years after the Phantom's escape from L'Opera in Paris. In this sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's world-renowned musical, Forsyth delves into the mysterious life of Erik Mulhiem, a deformed boy spirited away to live in the recesses of the opera house.
After years of destitution and misery, Erik builds a vast empire in America and devises a plan to ensnare his beloved Christine Daae. A cast of supporting characters adds depth to the plot, from a refined French lawyer to a street-wise New York hack. The story unfolds in documentary form, with Forsyth providing essential background information on the opera house and its history.
With its unique blend of mystery, romance, and suspense, The Phantom of Manhattan is a gripping tale that explores the darker corners of the human heart.
