■ Details

Since his debut in 2014 with "Human Faces Are Hard to Eat," Shirai Tomoyuki, hailed as the "detective writer among detective writers" by established authors, has presented an ambitious work in his eighth year. The novel's stage spans Japan, the United States, and the Republic of Guyana in South America, broadening its scale. In a cult that believes in "miracles" where diseases are cured and disabilities are healed by following the leader, a series of mysterious murders occur. Can the "investigation" of the famous detective go beyond the believers' "faith"? The dazzling "resolution" that will become a legend in mystery history begins now.

Detective Otoya Takashi, along with his assistant Arimori Ririko, has built his reputation by uncovering the truth behind cases that even the police couldn't solve. However, few know that it is Ririko who is truly the "brain" behind the Otoya Detective Agency. When Ririko, under the pretext of attending a conference, heads to New York and mysteriously disappears, Otoya conducts a thorough investigation. He discovers that Ririko has infiltrated a cult called Jodentown to investigate its leader. To rescue Ririko, who may be held captive, Otoya sets off for South America.

Once a leader who led over 20,000 followers in California, USA, Jim Joden has fled to South America with about a thousand loyal followers to escape scandal. Charles Clark, a prominent figure in the United States, wants to confirm the rumors before accepting Joden's request for asylum. Hence, excellent investigators from various countries, including Ririko, are dispatched to Guyana on Clark's behalf. Having successfully infiltrated Jodentown, Otoya finds himself in grave danger as his true identity is at risk of being exposed...
