Deceptive Intent to Kill Akiko Fukaki Price: ¥780 (excluding tax) Kadokawa Bunko, February 2023, First Edition I believe the book is in overall good condition for a used item, both inside and out. ◆Content This is a notable work that won awards from both "Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!" and "Honkaku Mystery Best 10." A full-fledged mystery that delves into the truth through correspondence. In 1966, the head of the wealthy Nire family in the countryside dies of a heart attack while playing golf at the age of 64. A memorial service is held at the mansion with only relatives present, but a murder occurs. The eldest daughter and her grandson (the child of the eldest son who died young) are poisoned with arsenic. As the investigation progresses, a piece of paper from a chocolate containing arsenic is found in the pocket of the lawyer, who is the son-in-law adopted into the family of the murdered eldest daughter. "I am not the culprit. You should know that—." Despite his innocence, the lawyer "confesses" and is sentenced to life in prison. He begins exchanging "correspondence" with those involved in the case. The battle of deduction over the true culprit of the "poisoned chocolate" unfolds within the correspondence—and eventually, the "truth" leads in an unexpected direction. This work won the 7th place in both "Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!" 2021 edition (Takarajima-sha) and "2021 Honkaku Mystery Best 10" domestic ranking (Hara Shobo). A full-length mystery that pays homage to A. Berkeley's "The Poisoned Chocolates Case." #AkikoFukaki #Akiko_Fukaki #Books #JapaneseLiterature/Novels/Stories
