Acclaimed bestselling novelist Kunihiko Hidaka is found brutally murdered in his home on the night before he's planning to leave Japan and relocate to Vancouver. His body is discovered in his office, in a locked room, within his locked house, by his wife and his best friend, both of whom have solid alibis. Or so it seems. Police Detective Kyochiro Kaga recognizes Hidaka's best friend, Osamu Nonoguchi, with whom he has a history as former colleagues at the same high school. Kaga investigates further, suspecting something is off with Nonoguchi's statement, and executes a search warrant on his apartment. There, evidence reveals that the two writers’ relationship was very different from what they claimed. Nonoguchi confesses to the murder, but that's only the beginning of the story. In a brilliantly realized tale of cat and mouse, the detective and the writer battle over the truth of the past and how events that led to the murder really unfolded. Which one of the two writers was ultimately guilty of malice?
