Nicolás Valdés no ha dado señales de vida desde la última gran aparición del mutilador de Mors, cuando seis personas fueron brutalmente asesinadas. Hace un año que el inspector está desaparecido, el asesino sigue libre y reina una calma tensa en Madrid. Solo hay una razón por la que Nicolás volvería. Solo una persona podría romper esa calma. El asesino ha tenido tiempo para preparar su gran jugada, la que le llevará a enfrentarse al inspector en su última partida de ajedrez. Madrid ya ha descansado demasiado, Nicolás Valdés también. Es el momento de llegar al final, un final que ha esperado durante ocho años: solo uno de los dos puede quedar en pie. Nicolás Valdés has not shown any signs of life since the mutilator of Mors' last appearance, when six people were violently murdered. The inspector has been missing for a year, the murderer is still at large, and a tense sense of calm reigns over Madrid. There is only one reason why Nicolás would return. Only one person could break that calm. The murderer has had time to prepare his big move, which will lead him to face the inspector at his last game of chess. Madrid has been at peace for far too long, and so has Nicolás Valdés. It is time to face the end, an end that he has been awaiting for eight years: but only one of the two will remain standing.
