East Asian Literary Fiction
by Ross MacKenzie · Kiyoshi Mitarai series
An astrologer-detective is given one week to solve a forty-year-old locked-room murder involving dismembered bodies arranged to create 'the supreme woman.' A baroque puzzle demanding charts, maps, and a willingness to follow deduction into genuinely strange territory. Japanese honkaku mystery at its most uncompromising.
