But amid the gossip over the approaching festivities, there is also a worrying rumour - it seems a sinister masked man has been asking questions about the Ichiyanagis around the village. Then, on the night of the wedding, the Ichiyanagi family are woken by a terrible scream, followed by the sound of eerie music - death has come to Okamura, leaving no trace but a bloody samurai sword, thrust into the pristine snow outside the house. The murder seems impossible, but amateur detective Kosuke Kindaichi is determined to get to the bottom of it. 600 10 Yokomizo, Seishi,|d1902-1981|vTranslations into English. 600 10 Kindaichi, Kōsuke|c(Fictitious character)|vFiction. 650 0 Japanese fiction|vTranslations into English. 651 0 Japan|vFiction. 655 0 Detective and mystery stories. 700 1 Kawai, Louise Heal,|etranslator.
