In 1973, a pawnbroker was murdered in an abandoned building in Osaka. Suspects emerged one after another, but the case ultimately went cold. The victim's son, Ryoji Kirihara, and the "suspect's" daughter, Yukiho Nishimoto—a boy with dark eyes and an extraordinarily beautiful girl—would go their separate ways. Around them, the traces of several terrifying crimes are visible. However, there is no "evidence." And nineteen years pass... A masterpiece by Keigo Higashino, with multiple plot threads interwoven. ★ Hardcover. 2nd edition, 1999. ★ Condition Cover: No noticeable damage, stains, or discoloration; in good condition. Text: There are some age-related spots on the edges of the pages, but they do not affect the interior pages, and the book is generally in good condition. Overall, I think it is in the category of a beautiful item. No obi (paper band). ★ This book is over 3 cm thick, so it will be placed in a waterproof vinyl bag and packed in a cardboard box in an open state. Please understand this before purchasing.
