Japan, 1936. The eccentric artist, who lived with six daughters, stepdaughters and nieces, was found dead in a room locked from the inside. His diaries, dedicated to alchemy and astrology, contained a detailed plan for the murder of each of them. To deprive the life of several to give the life of one, but perfect - the owner of the most powerful qualities of all the signs of the zodiac. And shortly after, the plan was fulfilled: parts of the bodies of these women are found hidden throughout Japan.
By 1979, the Tokyo murders in the zodiac have excited the nation for decades, but were never disclosed. The predictor of fate, the astrologer and the great detective Kiyoshi Mitarai and his illustrator must solve the secret of this impossible crime in one week. You have all the necessary keys, but can you find a guess before they do it?
"The god of riddles" - this is the name of Simad Suji in Japan. It was he who created Honkaku -detective - a new genre so popular in the country of the rising sun. A detective in which the reader is offered an honest intellectual game: to reveal the matter before the main character does.
Coji was the first to unite European classics with Japanese exotic, rationalism with mysticism. His great detective is not just a man of sharp mind and brilliant analytical abilities, like Sherlock Holmes, Erkul Poirot and Niro Wulf, but also an astrologer and predictor of fate.
Roman Suji belongs to the category of "must read" for every Japanophila self -respecting - it is literally saturated with interesting information about the history, culture and geography of Japan of the pre -war period.
Translation from the Japanese language.
as far as I know, this is the strangest of the crimes that have ever committed. Absolutely impossible, nothing like that, probably, has never happened not only in Japan, but throughout the world. It was documented with all care - all the notes and protocols remained, at hand, it would seem, all the keys. But the mystery still did not give in to the most inexplicable way. Before giving an answer to it, this book provides readers with the opportunity to think of themselves before the decision, having all the necessary information for this. ” - Cazumi Isioka, friend and ally of Kiyoshi Mitarai - the predictor of fate, astrologer and the great detective
