Synopsis

FROM JAPAN'S GREATEST CRIME WRITER: Yokomizo's iconic detective Kosuke Kindaichi returns in this stand-alone murder mystery featuring a luxurious family estate beset by madness, scandal, and a terrifying curse

"Plenty of golden age ingredients... with a truly ingenious solution." — Guardian, Best New Crime Fiction

In this mind-bending new addition to Seishi Yokomizo's bestselling Kosuke Kindaichi Mysteries—translated into English for the first time—scruffy sleuth Kindaichi is called to the home of the aristocratic Furugami family, where in the midst of the Musashino countryside and enclosed on all sides by a long earthen wall, a gruesome scandal is brewing.

At the centre of the estate is the family patriarch: the drunken, sword-wielding father Tetsunoshin. His mistress, the icy, alluring Lady Oryu, is also housed in the estate along with their illegitimate daughter Yachiyo —beautiful and unstable—and the drink-ravaged Furugami heir, Naoki Sengoku. With each family member holding onto their own dark secrets, tensions between them ride high.

But this family feud turns bloody when the mutilated, headless body of Yachiyo's fiancé is discovered in the Furugami estate. To solve the case, Kindaichi will need to pick apart the threads of the family's carefully-woven story. But can he find the killer before the family is torn apart by its own secrets?

Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Lucy Foley, this thrilling mystery from Japan's greatest and best-loved crime writer is rife with family drama and shocking twists that will captivate readers old and new.
