About the book
**What's the reason behind this sequence of grotesque and bloody murders and who is the ghastly murderer? These are the riddles that ace private eye Kosuke Kindaichi has to solve** >This is the first English translation of Yokomizo's haunting tale of murder and suspense, which began a series of over 80 books, famous in Japan, featuring the popular detective, Kosuke Kindaichi. His disorderly character and eccentric habits conceal razor-sharp deduction skills. In mid-1940s Japan, Sahei Inugami, wealthy head of the Inugami Group and "Silk King of Japan", dies in his lakeside villa at the venerable age of 81. In his youth, Sahei was rescued from poverty and an early death by a Shinto priest. However, upon Sahei's death, his debt of gratitude to the priest unleashes a bitter curse, triggering a chain of gruesome and bizarre murders as the members of the Inugami family are pitted against each other in a desperate contest for his fortune. Discovering the Inugami Clan's terrible secrets of forbidden liaisons, monstrous cruelty, and disguised identities, Kindaichi must unravel the complex web of human relationships and passions that lie behind the murders.
