SynopsisA fiendish classic murder mystery, from one of Japan's greatest crime writers. In 1940s Japan, the wealthy head of the Inugami Clan dies, setting off a chain of bizarre, gruesome murders. Detective Kindaichi must unravel the clan's terrible secrets of forbidden liaisons, monstrous cruelty, and hidden identities to find the murderer. The Inugami Curse is a bloody, intricately plotted classic mystery from a giant of Japanese crime writing., A fiendish classic murder mystery, from one of Japan's greatest crime writers, featuring the country's best-loved detective In 1940s Japan, the wealthy head of the Inugami clan dies, and his family eagerly await the reading of the will. But no sooner are its strange details revealed than a series of bizarre, gruesome murders begins. Detective Kindaichi must unravel the clan's terrible secrets of forbidden liaisons, monstrous cruelty, and hidden identities to find the murderer, and lift the curse wreaking its bloody revenge on the Inugamis. The Inugami Curse is a fiendish, intricately plotted classic mystery from a giant of Japanese crime writing, starring the legendary detective Kosuke Kindaichi. Yokomizo is perhaps the most popular and feted crime writer in his country's history. His richly atmospheric classic mysteries are a treat for any fan of Golden Age whodunits, taking the reader all over post-war Japan, from remote mountain villages to pirate-plagued islands and the bustling streets of Tokyo. Yokomizo loved to craft ingenious puzzle plots, inspired by the greats of British and American crime, such as John Dickson Carr or Agatha Christie, while his detective, Kosuke Kindaichi, is everything a reader could want from a sleuth: brilliant, eccentric, charming, and unassuming enough to be fatally underestimated by many a murderer. . .

Despite that we already know by way of the title that a murder has been committed in a closed room, when the detective arrives he debunks that theory.
Seishi Yokomizo introduces a new detective Kusaki Kindaichi who is unlike all the other detectives found in Scandinavian noir novels. instead Yokomizo appears to be paying tribute to Agatha Christie and her eccentric detectives like Poirot, but set within Japanese culture. Pure delight to have discovered Yokomizo!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
