About This Novel
This book is selected from three mystery novel collections by Junichiro Tanizaki, totaling seven. "The Sadistic Incident in Japan" is about a masochistic murder incident. However, the so-called murder incident was not determined by the police, but the narrator's personal speculation based on news reports and related records. The protagonist "I" of "The Cursed Script" speculates about the death of the dramatist Sasaki's ex-wife Tamako in an accident. The protagonist of "Ghost Whispers in the Day" is Sonomura, who is tired of boring daily life and would rather risk being killed to get closer to the weird and foggy world. The narrator of the novel "I" is a student at the University of Tokyo. The private detective in "On the Road" found out the cause of death of Yu He's ex-wife through clever conversations with Yu He. This article was praised by Edogawa as the first probabilistic murder story. "A Motive for a Crime" describes the criminal psychology of the criminal who killed the kind doctor. "Ex-Con" is a story about the criminal psychology of an artist with a criminal record and moral turpitude.
