Description
Deep in the mist-shrouded mountains, a bloody legend has been passed down for centuries. Eight samurais, seeking refuge with a secret treasure, were brutally murdered by the villagers, bringing a curse upon their village. Centuries later, a mysterious young man named Tatsuya arrives, leaving a trail of deadly poisonings in his wake. Kosuke Kindaichi, a brilliant and eccentric investigator, is tasked with unraveling the mystery. With his unique blend of charm and unassuming nature, he navigates the complex web of clues to uncover the truth behind the poisonings. Translated into English for the first time, this gripping murder mystery takes readers on a journey through post-war Japan, from remote villages to bustling cities. Seishi Yokomizo's ingenious puzzle plot will keep you guessing until the very end.
