The Japanese cult classic mystery
'Ayatsuji's brilliant and richly atmospheric puzzle will appeal to fans of golden age whodunits… Every word counts, leading up to a jaw-dropping but logical reveal' Publishers Weekly
The lonely, rockbound island of Tsunojima is notorious as the site of a series of bloody unsolved murders. Some even say it's haunted. One thing's for sure: it's the perfect destination for the K-University Mystery Club's annual trip.
But when the first club member turns up dead, the remaining amateur sleuths realise they will need all of their murder-mystery expertise to get off the island alive.
As the party are picked off one by one, the survivors grow desperate and paranoid, turning on each other. Will anyone be able to untangle the murderer's fiendish plan before it's too late?

      Even if the world were viewed as a chessboard, and every person on it a chess piece, there would still be a limit as to how far future moves could be predicted.

      How often had he thought about giving up halfway through? Looking back, it was a mystery how all that energy could have been stored inside that starving body.

        Morisu was, in a way, a strangely conservative realist, Shimada was like a dream-gazing child, a sort of romanticist. He would let his imagination run wild on any real case that interested him and if he found a possibility he thought interesting, he would sublimate that into something like a “dream.” That was how the man appeared in Kawaminami’s eyes.
