Tokyo Zodiac

The holder of the literary award No. 1 in Japan — the "Japanese Detective Literature". Shortlisted for the "Edogawa Rampo" award. "The God of Riddles" — this is how Soji Shimada is called in Japan. He is the main creator... of honkaku detective fiction. Puzzle detective — a genre so popular in the Land of the Rising Sun. From the very first pages, the reader is offered an honest intellectual game: to solve the case before the main character does. Already in the middle of the novel, the author officially announces: all the keys necessary for the solution have been given, and now everything depends on your intellectual abilities! Shimada was the first to combine European classics with Japanese exoticism, rationalism with mysticism. His detective is not just an intellectual like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, but also an astrologer and fate predictor.
