■ Details

Shirai Tomoyuki, who has climbed to the top spot in the "Definitive Mystery Best 10" for two consecutive years, has established a new landmark in the Japanese detective literature scene. With daring themes, unpredictable deductions, and bold developments, the genius writer Shirai Tomoyuki, who has consistently amazed readers, returns with "Guts of the Detective," expanding upon the world of "Victim of the Detective."

The novel progresses through several twists and turns. Firstly, the events during the nationwide era, the ominous occurrences in the village, and the intertwining mysteries in the prologue bring to mind Yokomizo Seishi's "The Village of Eight Graves." While the homage to the creator of Japan's greatest detective, Kintaro Kosuke, may seem natural, Shirai Tomoyuki's homage, which has always perfectly betrayed readers' expectations, is anything but ordinary.

As Hara and Ura-no-Kyu engage in a battle of deductions and counter-arguments, the novel transitions from traditional and multiple deductions to a grotesque horror fantasy just as mystery aficionados start to smile. Declaring that the astonishment has only just begun. The hidden layers of meaning behind the novel's title, "Guts of the Detective," become increasingly apparent.
