About This Novel
In a completely blind world, the murderer cannot be seen, but you can use your nose and ears to expose lies! Won the Edogawa Ranpo Award, the highest honor in the Japanese reasoning community! The blind protagonist × the mountain of corpses on a rainy night × the impostor relative! One of the boldest settings in the mystery world! A cargo ship slowly docked during a storm, and a mountain of corpses was discovered inside the stinky container. Under the mountain of corpses, a surviving stowaway staggered and disappeared into the dark night rain. At the same time, Kazuhisa Murakami, a completely blind old man living alone, discovered that his brother who recognized his relatives after being separated for many years seemed to be a fake. Doubt washed over him, and he felt malice coming with it. In front of traffic, in the wind and snow, Murakami, who was close to death several times, decided to explore the truth in the darkness. Several Braille letters with coded letters, arsenic bottles stolen from home, and a hand reaching out to him from behind in the darkness... As the investigation deepened, he unexpectedly uncovered the decades-long fateful entanglement between stowaways on rainy nights, blood relatives, and himself.
