’An exceptional whodunit’Publishers Weekly
A classic Japanese mystery from the author of The Honjin Murders and Murder at the Black Cat Cafe
A brother’s mysterious final words warn that his three sisters will be murdered. Can Detective Kindaichi get to them before it’s too late?
The rockbound and forbidding Gokumon Island was once a pirate stronghold. Now it is home to a clannish fishing community, dominated by two feuding families.
When Kosuke Kindaichi arrives bringing news of a death, it triggers a series of grotesquely staged murders. The scruffy detective attempts to untangle the island’s secrets and stop the killings, but a fresh mystery seems to greet him at every turn, and soon he falls under suspicion himself…
