Description
[Machine Translation] Kanda Jimbocho - a town that began its history in the Edo period as the residence of a shogun, became a cultural student town with many schools during the Meiji period, and developed into a town of antiquarian books after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. One day, in a corner of the town that had regained its liveliness, an antiquarian bookshop owner passes away without being noticed. He was crushed by a pile of old books that had collapsed, and met an ironic end, as if he had been killed by the tools of his trade. In mourning his longtime friend, Shoji Kotooka, also an antiquarian bookshop owner, takes over the cleanup, but soon discovers something inexplicable at the accident site. The victim's wife has disappeared, a mysterious name is left in the order book, and other strange incidents occur around him. This full-length mystery is the quintessential work of the Naoki Prize-winning author.
