The Devil's Flute Murders by Seishi Yokomizo #foliosociety tension with tendernessAn ingenious and highly atmospheric classic whodunit from Japan's master of crime. Amid the rubble of post war Tokyo, inside the grand Tsubaki house, a once noble family is in mourning. The old viscount Tsubaki, a brooding, troubled composer, has been found dead. When the family gather for a divination to conjure the spirit of their departed patriarch, death visits the house once more, and the brilliant Kosuke Kindaichi is called in to investigate.
