   The official demon lord never kills indiscriminately; in the name of justice, he slaughters countless lives. He destroys another world to cure a disease.

It's a realistic crime thriller, impeccable in terms of plot, writing structure, pacing, story richness, and the breadth of knowledge it covers. The author is incredibly daring; the design of a series of locked-room murders is so dark, I've never seen anything like it. It'll send chills down your spine even at night, ultimately prompting reflection on society and human nature. Not only is it dark, but it also has depth. Importantly! This is a new book, definitely a repost from another site by a top author!
