It’s a finish that can’t help but be called a masterpiece that has updated all the highest values.
Daisuke Yoshida (“Kahoku Shimpo” June 5th morning edition)
The eerie presence of Suzuki, who sneaks into the hearts of the police officers with a huge stream of words and takes them as a cue, is at a level that will remain in mystery history.
Akiyuki Chimachi (“Weekly Bunshun” May 19 issue)
I was groaned that there was still such a hand. A masterpiece. Akira Nagae (“Hokkaido Shimbun” June 8 morning edition)
Too funny! A poor old man like a psychopath who takes advantage of people’s hearts and minds has a brain battle against a sharp detective. Mr. Wu, who accurately portrays the darkness of the heart of a person who can’t say anything, whether it’s malicious or true! It’s too amazing. I turned the page with the momentum that the bomb in my heart was about to explode. The number one mystery of the year! ! Yurindo (Fujisawa branch) Atsuko Saeki
At the moment when you are dragged down from the “reader” perspective and become “someone” in this story, even the footing of reality begins to shake. The amazingly completed mystery pieces made me almost forget to breathe.

After reading only a few pages, I was immediately drawn in.
The tense atmosphere created by the two playing a psychological game and the humanity of the detectives running at the scene.
In that gap, was it the bomb that frightened me, or did what I thought to be justice become the truth?
It was a quick read until the end.
