Here, every clue has multiple meanings, rigid logic and illusion compete for control over the mind, and the line between truth and manipulation is almost erased...
Ririko Arimori is a student with a brilliant, even frightening, gift for logical reasoning. She works for Takashi Ootoya's detective agency and can outsmart her boss in a case. Suddenly, she disappears without a trace. Ootoya is willing to do anything to find his assistant.
He finds her in the remote jungles of Guyana, in South America. For reasons known only to her, Ririko is studying the life of the closed religious community "The Peoples Temple." Everything about this place is strange: the believers believe they are immune to disease and death, a legless man is absolutely certain he can walk, and the enigmatic cult leader, Jim Jordan, regularly demonstrates the ability to perform miracles.
However, this ability proves useless when, despite the villagers' universal belief in the impossibility of death, a person dies in the settlement. Murder. And an impossible murder: the room where the body was found is locked from the inside, and the key lies next to the body. Ririko and Ootoya combine their deductive skills to find the killer. Jordan has given them only three hours. And no one can imagine the horrific consequences this search will have...
