The Three Room Problem
Three hermetic mysteries that defy the laws of genre and physics, from China's renowned "Emperor of Detectives."
One of the finest examples of the shin-honkaku genre—a modern offshoot of the honkaku detective genre.
A true puzzle for fans of honkaku and the classic detectives of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr.
A secluded mansion, shrouded in dark rumors, is shaken by a series of brutal, mind-boggling murders. The police are stumped, and only the brilliant mangaka—comic artist An Zhen—can unravel the mysteries of three "locked rooms."
The wealthy Lu family is a household name in Shanghai. They live as reclusive individuals in a majestic mansion on the shores of Newborn Lake. It's rumored to be haunted by monsters. And in the surrounding abandoned park, the sound of children's cries can be heard at night... The rumors only intensify when an impossible murder occurs in the mansion. How could a corpse less than a day old end up in a semi-underground storage room, the entrance to which had been blocked by stagnant water two days earlier? Experienced police lieutenant Liang Liang is helpless against such a difficult case. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the house's occupants saw nothing, and the only clue is a source of confusion. But the "sealed room" case is only the beginning of a series of mysterious deaths in the Lu family.
Fortunately, the brilliant manga artist An Zhen comes to the police's aid. His astonishing talent for drawing has helped solve numerous cases. His deductive powers are also practically unmatched. Only he can solve the "three locked rooms" problem...
