José Carlos Somoza is one of Spain's most popular writers, winner of the Golden Dagger Award and numerous other literary prizes (Silver Dagger Awards and Gold Dagger Awards, Nadal Prize, Cervantes Theatre Prize, Cafe Gijon Prize). In Somoza's new novel, Etude in Black, it all begins in June 1882, when a nurse, Anne McCarey, a young, ugly, unmarried woman, arrives in Portsmouth, where she has secured a place at the prestigious Clarendon House Hospital for the Insane. She is assigned to care for a mysterious gentleman. This strange patient calls himself Mr. X. He can't stand the light of day, but he is endowed with extraordinary insight, for him there is nothing secret in people's actions, and he can investigate crimes without getting up from his chair. This duo is joined by London doctor Conan Doyle, who has just opened a practice. Meanwhile, several murders occur in the neighborhood of the clinic under mysterious circumstances with strange periodicity. The police are at a dead end, and it seems that the only one who can solve the case is Mr. X, supported only by Nurse Anne and Doyle.
