About This Novel
This is a long mystery novel by Keigo Higashino, a famous master of physical novels. The biochemical weapon K-55 secretly developed by Taipeng University Medical Research Institute was stolen. In a snow-covered ski resort, the blackmailer buried ultrafine particles of anthrax deep inside. When the temperature exceeded 10 degrees Celsius, the deadly bacteria would be released. He used this to extort 300 million yuan, but died unexpectedly. What remains is the survival game of the living. The peaceful ski resort is full of dangers and murderous intentions. It has become a huge problem to safely retrieve the deadly bacteria without exposing it. --At what moment in your life have you ever felt despair? The police who cannot catch the murderer, the father and son who are drifting apart, and "that thing" buried deep in the snow, are all ready, but there is no chance to "do it"... The lost "thing" will eventually be found. Perhaps it is the greatest hope and surprise in life.

The ski resort, taking photos, and mysterious emails are really an interesting start. The atmospheric description of the scene makes people feel like they are actually there. It has to be said that good books are hard to find.
The frightening thing about biological and chemical weapons is their large-scale indiscriminate killing power, but what is even more frightening is the sinister heart of those who use life to extort property.
A very good book, another suspenseful masterpiece by Higashino Keigo. What is behind the strange series of events on the snowfield? And why does it happen?
