"Sodji Shimada is called the 'God of Mysteries' in Japan. Winner of the number one literary award in Japan for 'Japanese Detective Literature.' Member of the elite group of Japanese writers, Red Circle Authors. Several tens of millions of books sold in Asia alone.
The backstory to the cult intellectual mysteries 'Tokyo Zodiac' and 'House of Crooked Walls.' The retrospective debut of the astrologer detective Kiyoshi Mitarai. Here, the witty Shimada acted just like the authors of the 'golden age of detective fiction,' elegantly breaking his own rules. Along with another brilliant puzzle, he gave us a story about a restless soul and the hidden corners of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Waking up, this man realized he didn't know who he was. His memory had disappeared. Instead of a face in the mirrors, there was something like a purple melon. And not a single clue. In desperate search of his identity, he found love, a girl named Ryoko, who clung to him despite the fatal secret. He also acquired a strange but irresistibly attractive friend - the astrologer, fortune-teller, music lover, guitar virtuoso, and witty eccentric Kiyoshi Mitarai. But soon it turned out that Ryoko was not who she claimed to be, that she was playing an incomprehensible cruel game. And Mitarai was not just a funny antisocial eccentric, as one might have thought...
"The Great Sodji Shimada literally invented a whole subgenre of 'logical mystery'..." - The Guardian
"Shimada knows how to combine completely fantastic crimes with logical and transparent solutions to these mysteries - and is able to stump even the most insightful reader." - Publishers Weekly"
