Description
In 1940s Japan, the death of the wealthy patriarch of the Inugami Clan should be a simple matter of inheritance—until the will is read and the family’s expectations curdle into fear. As bizarre, gruesome murders begin to surface, Detective Kindaichi is drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, superstition, and long-buried motives that seem to twist the very meaning of “family.” With each revelation, the case exposes how greed, loyalty, and inherited grudges can turn even a private tragedy into a public nightmare. Blending classic mystery plotting with Yokomizo’s sharp, atmospheric storytelling, this is a chilling investigation into the dark logic behind seemingly impossible crimes.
