Publisher's Summary

Amid the rubble of post-war Tokyo, inside the grand Tsubaki house, a once-noble family is in mourning.

The old viscount Tsubaki – a brooding, troubled composer – has been found dead.

When the family gather for a divination to conjure the spirit of their departed patriarch, death visits the house once more, and the brilliant Kosuke Kindaichi is called in to investigate.

But before he can get to the truth, Kindaichi must uncover the Tsubakis' most disturbing secrets, while the gruesome murders continue ...

'Yokomizo at his absolute best … From the ominous opening through the brilliant final reveal, [he] ably blends suspense and fair-play detection … A classic of the genre.' (Publishers Weekly)

Another good mystery but...

All stories by Yokomizo are packed with twists but the number of characters and places are so many that it sometime gets confusing. Would be good if it came with a list of references.
