The House of the Setting Sun by renowned detective writer Yuzan Takarada is an extremely mysterious mansion with numerous hidden rooms. The place is literally riddled with strange mechanisms. These mechanisms once served as the author's intellectual games, but now he is bedridden and barely coherent.
A forest fire has trapped a diverse group of people in Takarada's house. They are cut off from the outside world by a ring of flames. To escape, they must find a secret passage hidden somewhere in the building. However, their search is interrupted by a shocking event: the writer's granddaughter... is crushed by an intricate suspended ceiling in one of the rooms. Among the group are two people with exceptional deductive abilities. Asukai Hikaru, a former detective, believes it was an accident—the girl was killed by the house itself. Teruyoshi Katsuragi, a rookie detective, is certain that the killer is one of them. Facing imminent death by fire, these two engage in a battle of wits... Tatsumi Atsukawa holds the record of being among the top ten suspense writers in his home country for five consecutive years. In the Land of the Rising Sun, he has been named one of the most eagerly awaited crime writers.
