Catalogue information
The Ninth Gate is based on a book by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, "El club Dumas". Dean Corso, a book detective, searches for rare books. One day he was commissioned by a certain Boris Balkan to verify the authenticity of the 17th century book "The 9 Gates" of the Empire of Shades. Only three copies of this satanic book have survived around the world, but only one of them is said to be authentic. Those who handle it correctly would be able to summon the Devil in person. To compare the three books - and in particular, the nine mysterious engravings - Corso travels from New York to Toledo, Paris and Sintra in Portugal. Murder and death appear to haunt him, as do two mysterious women. The one, Mrs. Telfer, is also hunting the book. The other is a very strange woman who always seems to protect him.
