Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"Seishi Yokomizo took a pinch of John Dickson Carr and a dash of Agatha Christie in creating Kosuke Kindaichi, solver of impossible crimes... Kosuke s arrival [on Gokumon Island] coincides with a string of bizarre and gruesome murders. As deaths mount, the quirky, endearing detective strings together the clues to solve this fiendish puzzle"
--Sarah Weinman, The New York Times

One of the best mystery, thriller, and true crime books out in June --Bookriot

This fiendish mystery... will appeal to all lovers of the Golden Age of crime fiction
--Pick of the Week, The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club

A fascinating insight into Japanese culture and behaviour more than 70 years ago
--Irish Independent

An exceptional whodunit... The brilliant and intricate plot will keep readers turning the pages. Golden age fans will hope for more translations of this gifted author
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Seishi Yokomizo was the king of the locked-room mystery, and there s nothing more cut off than an island."

Autor

Seishi Yokomizo (1902-81) was one of Japan's most famous and best-loved mystery writers. He was born in Kobe and spent his childhood reading detective stories, before beginning to write stories of his own, the first of which was published in 1921. He went on to become an extremely prolific and popular author, best known for his Kosuke Kindaichi series, which ran to 77 books, many of which were adapted for stage and television in Japan. Death on Gokumon Island is one of Seishi Yokomizo's most highly regarded mysteries. The Honjin Murders, The Inugami Curse and The Village of Eight Graves are also available from Pushkin Vertigo.

Louise Heal Kawai is the translator of The Honjin Murders, the first book of Seishi Yokomizo s Kosuke Kindaichi series, as well as Soji Shimada s Murder in the Crooked House, and Mieko Kawakami s Ms Ice Sandwich for Pushkin Press. Additionally, she has translated a variety of works from Japanese, including the bestselling The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa. Louise is from Manchester, UK and currently resides in Yokohama.
