Victorian England, Portsmouth. At Clarendon House, "a boarding house for the rest of gentlemen with frayed nerves", a new guest arrives - Charles Dodgson, already famous as Lewis Carroll, author of "Alice in Wonderland" - and his nerves are very frayed. Charles Dodgson has ominous dreams - his own characters prophesize blood, death and disasters of unclear nature to him and his acquaintances, and these predictions come true again and again. Who better to turn to with such a mystery than Mr. X, who understands the background of all human actions? This blind and mad anachronist, the singer of rationality, the prototype of Sherlock Holmes, solves terrible mysteries from the comfort of his room by the power of deduction alone - but how will his new battle with the Union of Ten end? Jose Carlos Somoza is a brilliant Spanish writer whose novels have been translated into dozens of languages, winner of the Golden Dagger Award and many other literary awards, creator of multi-layered worlds where very scary things happen, author of fantasy, philosophical, historical thrillers and horror. In "The Sign of Ten", the sequel to "Etude in Black," the infernally perceptive Mr. X and his loyal, ironic, strong and sensitive nurse Anne McCarey return, and together with them in the unpredictable intrigue involved actors, prop makers and spectators of violent underground theaters, famous psychiatrists and, of course, Arthur Conan Doyle.
