The Devil's Flute Murders by Seishi Yokomizo

An ingenious and highly atmospheric classic whodunit from Japan's master of crime.

“Yokomizo at his absolute best.. From the ominous opening through the brilliant final reveal, [he] ably blends suspense and fair-play detection... A classic of the genre.”
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Another fiendishly complex mystery from the master of locked room murders... Atmospheric, chilling, and structurally complex.”
--CrimeReads
