Labyrinth House Murders

For the sixtieth birthday of their dying mentor, the celebrated novelist Miyagaki Yōtarō, four young mystery writers descend into the Labyrinth House — an underground maze of a mansion built by the eccentric architect Nakamura Seiji. When Miyagaki is found dead, his will sets a macabre contest: each writer must compose the finest murder story they can, judged for half his fortune, bound by one rule — every author must be the victim of his own tale. Then the guests begin dying exactly as the stories foretell, and mystery devotee Kiyoshi Shimada must unravel a puzzle nested inside a puzzle. The third of Yukito Ayatsuji's Bizarre House mysteries.
