A popular television series was filmed on its basis. The author is the recognized queen of yamisu - a popular branch of Japanese detective fiction that explores the dark sides of the human soul. You are innocent. But that doesn’t mean you’re not guilty... “Kazuhisa Fukase is a murderer.” And nothing more - just this one ringing line in a letter sent to an inconspicuous, shy young man named Fukase. And three more of his friends received exactly the same anonymous murder charges. There is no doubt that the author of these letters is alluding to a tragic event that happened to their friend several years ago. Then five best friends went on vacation to a country house near a ski resort. And one of them fell into the abyss in his car. The tragedy was ruled an accident. But the remaining four, tormented by feelings of guilt, know very well what they need to remain silent about. Be silent until the last... The hidden inner world of modern Japanese will open before you, their complex mentality, special attitude to friendship and love, crime and punishment.
