‘It was a puzzle with no solution. But he did not lose heart’
In a rocky cove in the bay of Hakata, the bodies of a young and beautiful couple are discovered.
Stood in the coast’s wind and cold, the police see nothing to investigate: the flush of the couple’s cheeks speaks clearly of cyanide, of a lovers’ suicide.
But in the eyes of two men, Torigai Jutaro, a senior detective, and Kiichi Mihara, a young gun from Tokyo, something is not quite right.
Together, they begin to pick at the knot of a unique and calculated crime…
