Murder at the Black Cat Cafe 英訳版『黒猫亭事件』Bryan Karetnyk訳が、2025/9に刊行予定。出版社のサイトでは、次の通り紹介されている。 About Murder at the Black Cat Cafe FROM ONE OF JAPAN’S GREATEST CRIME WRITERS - THE AUTHOR OF THE HONJIN MURDERS: Nothing at The Black Cat Cafe is as it seems... In order to solve this sensational stand-alone murder mystery, scruffy detective Kosuke Kindaichi will have to untangle a complex web of love, jealousy, and betrayal In post-war Tokyo, still recovering from the devastating wartime bombing raids, a patrolling policeman passing The Black Cat Cafe makes a gruesome discovery: the body of a woman, lying in a hastily dug hole, with a dead black cat by her side. The woman’s face is disfigured beyond recognition, and the cafe’s black cat seems alive and well, so where did the two corpses come from, and why were they buried in the cafe’s garden? As the legendary scruffy sleuth Kosuke Kindaichi investigates, he realizes the cafe’s enigmatic madam, Oshima, has a past shrouded in secrecy, and what exactly is her relationship with the owner, Itoshima? Murder at the Black Cat Cafe is the latest instalment in the Kosuke Kindaichi mysteries - the classic series that made Seishi Yokomizo Japan’s greatest and best-loved crime writer of all time. This edition also includes a bonus story, ‘The Well Wheel Creaks’. ‘The Well Wheel Creaks’：「車井戸はなぜ軋る」の英訳版も併録される旨、記されているではありませんか。続報が待たれる！ |
