Synopsis of Doctor X
On October 1st, 2013, the United States Government shut down Silk Road, also known as “the Amazon of drugs,” a notorious Dark Web site where drugs and pharmaceuticals could be purchased from anywhere in the world. Its creator, the twenty‑something Ross Ulbricht, as well as everyone involved in the platform—whether as administrators or forum moderators—ended up in prison.
Everyone except one: a Spanish doctor known as DoctorX.
Who is this mysterious figure connected to Silk Road?
Why didn’t he end up behind bars?
How did he become a geek idol of the Dark Web?
A gripping true story that José Ángel Mañas and Jordi Ledesma have turned into a fast‑paced thriller.
