She Walks at Night

About

Detective Kosuke Kindaichi arrives at a luxurious family estate beset by madness, scandal, and a terrifying ancestral curse. The Inugami clan's wealth has attracted the worst in everyone — jealousy, betrayal, and a willingness to kill that stretches across generations. When the murders begin, they are staged with a theatrical cruelty that suggests the killer is performing for an audience that includes the dead. Seishi Yokomizo's standalone mystery delivers all the ingredients of his golden-age best: an isolated setting, a labyrinthine family tree, and a solution that is both ingenious and inevitable. Kindaichi's shabby, unassuming presence provides the perfect counterpoint to the estate's Gothic excess. A murder mystery where the house is as dangerous as the killer — and where the past refuses to stay buried no matter how deep the family digs.
