Based on one of the most notorious crimes in Japanese history. A unique artistic reconstruction of a sensational murder and its causes.
This mystery cannot have a solution. And yet it does...
She came to the legendary detective Kiyoshi Mitarai - this strange woman named Kayo Ninomiya. However, he has not lived at home for a long time, traveling to different countries. She was taken in by the detective's friend, the writer Kazumi Ishioka. The woman's request could not be more insane: Ishioka must go with her to the distant wilderness to find her buried... hand. And both of her hands are in place. Surprising himself, the writer agrees.
And here they are in a mysterious mountain village near the bizarre and gloomy Ryugatai Inn. But they will have to put their business aside: an impossible murder takes place in the hotel. In a locked, well-visible room with tightly closed panoramic windows on all walls, a woman playing music on a traditional Japanese instrument, the koto, dies from a shot to the head. And at that very moment, the room is engulfed in flames…
This riddle is just right for Mitarai. But he is not in Japan, and he can only be contacted in writing…
