First Kikuo's son, and then another resident who witnessed the first murder, are slaughtered in seemingly impossible circumstances. The crimes are investigated by Inspector Kyozo and his accident-prone assistant Kinoshita, but they are actually solved by his brother Shinji, who delivers a "quasi-locked-room lecture" reminiscent of John Dickson Carr's Dr. Fell. Takemaru Akibe was, with Yukito Ayatsuji and Rintaro Norizuki, one of the founders of the shin honkaku movement. The 8 Mansion Murders, published in 1989 was the third in the series of path-breaking books which launched the renaissance of Golden Age style detective fiction in Japan"--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Abiko Checked In Add Copy to MyList
