The Devil's Flute Murders

by Seishi Yokomizo / Jim Rion · Detective Kosuke Kindaichi series

A flute melody heard in the night precedes a series of locked-room murders in a household already fractured by jealousy and inheritance. Kindaichi contends with a case where music is both clue and murder weapon, and the past refuses to stay silent.
