Description
On a quiet stretch of Kashii Beach, two well-dressed bodies are found side-by-side—yet their identities and the circumstances of their deaths refuse to add up. As investigators in separate cities pursue the same baffling case, their separate inquiries begin to mirror one another, drawing them toward a shared trail of deception, motive, and misdirection. With Seicho Matsumoto’s signature precision and psychological acuity, the novel turns the mechanics of detection into a study of how people conceal truth and how seemingly distant lives can converge. A tense, meticulously constructed mystery about lies, responsibility, and the hidden connections beneath everyday appearances, it builds toward an answer that feels both inevitable and unsettling.
