    Tense and thrilling, suspenseful and mind-bending, full of details for a leisurely read, this new book is highly anticipated. A dark fantasy, slightly scary, male-oriented, oppressive throughout, not easy to relax. Let's go crazy and lose our sanity together… A mysterious organization, a bizarre murder case, a dark world. An eye stares unblinkingly at you; can you see it…? Enough said, here's a short excerpt: "Splash… splash…" Raging waves, accompanied by torrential rain, raged across the pitch-black sea, whipped by lightning and howling winds. "Squeak… squeak…" Beneath the dark clouds, a small ship trembled with the waves, emitting groans. "Thump thump thump…" On the swaying deck, a pair of boots made a series of footsteps; the frequency revealed the wearer's composure. "Bang!" The footsteps stopped. The owner of the boots reached the cabin door and slammed it open. Because of the dark clouds, there was no light, and nothing about the person or the cabin was visible. "Buzz... Buzz... Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?..." The noise before the gramophone started was followed by music. "Thump... Thump... Thump..." The footsteps returned, but this time they were stamping in place; the owner of the boots was probably just keeping time with the music on the gramophone. "Swoosh!" Lightning flashed through the clouds, briefly illuminating the ship and causing it to shake even more violently. If this continued, it might soon perish. "Ugh... Ugh..." The cabin was also illuminated by this brief light—several bound people lay sprawled on the floor. Their mouths were all gagged, only able to utter intermittent whimpers. Their eyes were wide open, reflecting their terror. Beside a table with a gramophone stood a person, a person holding a gleaming knife… The light vanished in an instant. The person, the knife, the people, and the ship seemed to have disappeared, enveloped in the thick, dark clouds, a darkness so profound one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. "…Mama, just killed a man…" The gramophone continued playing music undisturbed. "Hiss…" A faint light flickered in the cabin, but it was chillingly sharp… Then came deathly silence… "Whoosh…whoosh…" Of course, except for the howling wind and everything inanimate, like the gramophone… "…Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away, Mama, ooh…"

    Only the last book isn't a crime-solving book, but it describes the case from the criminal's perspective. The first and second books are both crime-solving books, using psychological reasoning.
