El asesinato de Lord Conan Whitehall

In the middle of a stormy night, Lord Conan is brutally murdered: his corpse appears naked and in a fetal position on the sofa in the family room. Heart, wrists, thighs and neck have received certain stabbings. Next to the body, the criminal has left a glass full of blood and a book. The chief police inspector, Alwyn Vertebra, a man of overwhelming personality, will be in charge of solving the case. But the research presents extraordinary complexity. Actually, it only has one track; an anonymous telegram, which says: "You have paid a past debt with your life." In the end, it will not be as important to find out who ended the life of one of the patriarchs of the British nobility as to find out the reasons that led to killing the old aristocrat in such a cruel way. The murder of Lord Conan Whitehall is an unparalleled tribute to English literature of the late 19th century. In a surprising and fun way, winks and cameos truffle a story told through an unmistakable style, with which the Granada-born José María Espinar masterfully transports us to another era and to another aesthetic. And all this with the expertise of the best major police writing, like Sherlock Holmes.
