About This Novel
The first female winner of the Japan Mystery Literature Award is Natsuki Shizuko's masterpiece of mystery. Out of print for more than 20 years, it has been published again. This is a masterpiece of twists and turns where the murder plot is told at the beginning, but the truth is still not guessed! At the whim of the God of Love, a man and a woman meet in Barbizon on the outskirts of Paris on a stormy night. Unexpectedly, a casual love would lead to two murders without any motive in Fukuoka and Hakone. The two county police officers separately tracked down the murderer, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns... The truth of the case is staggering! The irresistible reality and the mysterious behind-the-scenes are both a suspense novel and a human entanglement. The author Shizuko Natsuki is a representative writer of the Japanese social mystery school and is highly praised by Ellery Quinn. The French version of this book won the French Crime Novel Award.

The killing method is simple and crude. The love of the male protagonist is really difficult to evaluate. He thinks he is unforgettable, but in fact he only loves a phantom, a vain fantasy.
