The third title in Japan's most popular murder mystery series -- after
The Honjin Murders and The Inugami Curse -- fiendish classics
featuring investigator Kosuke Kindaichi.
Translated into English for the first time.
Nestled deep in the mist-shrouded mountains, The Village of Eight
Graves takes its name from a bloody legend: in the Sixteenth Century
eight samurais, who had taken refuge there along with a secret treasure,
were murdered by the inhabitants, bringing a terrible curse down upon
their village.
Centuries later a mysterious young man named Tatsuya arrives in town,
bringing a spate of deadly poisonings in his wake. The inimitably
scruffy and brilliant Kosuke Kindaichi investigates.
