Publisher's Summary
It was late July, in 1955, when Kosuke Kindaichi, accompanied by a letter of introduction from Inspector Isokawa, took a rickshaw over the Sennin Pass – astonishingly, this mode of transport was still in use in those parts – and set foot for the very first time in the village of Onikobe. Of course, never in his wildest dreams would he have known about the temari song.
The scruffy detective Kosuke Kindaichi returns to solve another fiendish murder mystery.
An old friend of Kindaichi’s invites the detective to visit the remote mountain village of Onikobe, the site of a 20-year-old unsolved murder case. But no sooner has Kindaichi in the village than a new series of murders strikes – several bodies are discovered staged in bizarre poses, and it soon becomes clear that the victims are being killed using methods that eerily echo the lyrics of an old local children’s song …
As the legendary sleuth investigates, he soon realises that he must unravel the dark and tangled history of the village, as well as that of its feuding families, to get to the truth.
