«El misterio de la cripta embrujada» is the mystery and humour novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (178 pages, in Spanish).
In late-1970s Barcelona, a mental asylum patient becomes an investigator by force when several girls disappear from a religious school in San Gervasio. The inquiry drags him through a series of entanglements and absurd situations, in a satirical critique of the society of the time.
This edition is from 1986; the novel was originally published in 1978. It is the first instalment of the series «El innombrado detective o El paciente del Doctor Sugrañes».
For readers of mystery and humour novels who want to start with the origin of Eduardo Mendoza's unnamed detective.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
