An ingenious classic locked-room murder mystery about the feuding family of a composer, from Japan's master of crime, Seishi Yokomizo.

Amid the rubble of post-war Tokyo, inside the grand Tsubaki house, a once-noble family is in mourning. The old viscount Tsubaki – a brooding, troubled composer – has been found dead. When the family gather for a divination to conjure the spirit of their departed patriarch, death visits the house once more, and the brilliant Kosuke Kindaichi is called in to investigate. But before he can get to the truth, Kindaichi must uncover the Tsubakis' most disturbing secrets, while the gruesome murders continue ...

'Yokomizo at his absolute best … From the ominous opening through the brilliant final reveal, [he] ably blends suspense and fair-play detection … A classic of the genre.'
