The sequel to the iconic intellectual mystery Tokyo Zodiac.
A mystery steeped in madness. Kiyoshi Mitarai is challenged to a duel. An intellectual duel in the form of an unusual puzzle. The challenge is challenged by Takehiko Furui, a professor at Tokyo University's Faculty of Natural Sciences, who is confident that he can beat the famous detective. The dispute arose from the highly bizarre notes of a man named Tota Misaki, who had been obsessed with the novel Tokyo Zodiac since childhood. Misaki dreamed of repeating an experiment from the book: putting together a new person from different bodies. He describes how he realized his dream through a series of impossible adventures. How he saw the beginning of the end of the world. How he found himself among people who speak in numbers. How he encountered humanoid animals. Finally, how his arm was bitten off by... a dinosaur, and then grew back, albeit much shorter than before. Furui has no doubt that the notes are the product of a monstrously damaged psyche, and he undertakes to diagnose them. Mitarai, however, believes otherwise: the seemingly insane events actually happened. Now he has to prove it. And even his friend Ishioka thinks it's impossible... Who will win this game? "God of Mystery" - that's what they call Soji Shimada in Japan. Winner of Japan's #1 literary prize, the Japan Detective Literature Award. Member of the elite group of Japanese writers Red Circle Authors. Several tens of millions of books sold in Asia alone.
