Kosuke Kindaichis‘ second case (and No. 4 on my list). In this book we get a very personal case for the detective. One he was commissioned to solve or even prohibit from happening by his dying war buddy. On the way home from the lost battles and devastation of the 2nd World War, Kosuke promises to his friend to visit his families estate and prevent murder. The friend, heir to a large fishing empire, dies on the way home, leaving a letter for the detective and his last words: „My three sisters will be murdered. (…) Gokumon Island… please go there. In my place. My three sisters… My cousin… my cousin—“ (Quote from the book) The story is set on a gloomy island off the shore of Japan by the name of Gokumon, which means Hells Gate and for a long time was the home of pirates and prisoners. Now it is home to family feuds, mad men and a murderer. So, if you think I spoiled the story for you, think again. The ways the victims are killed… How past and present interplay in this case and who planned and did it all, you still have to find out. Happy guessing
