书籍简介
40年前的昭和11年（1936年），一桩占星术连续杀人案件轰动全日本！先是画家梅泽平吉在密室被人重击致死，接着是他早已出嫁的长女在家中被jian杀，最后甚至连与他同住的六个女儿也全部失踪。尸体陆续被发现埋在日本各地，而每个人身上都被切掉一部分！
梅泽平吉遗留的手记上写明他要依据“占星术”切下六名年轻处女各自星座代表的身体部位，再以此组合成拥有完美肉体的女性"阿索德"的制作。难道是梅泽平吉死而复活来完成幻异的艺术创作？当又没有证据与动机指向其他与本案相关的人——这可说是一桩找不到凶手的命案……
四十年后，眼见这桩诡谲至极的凶案变成邪灵的诅咒，本职占星师兼职侦探的御手洗洁却意外的得到一封告白遗书！悬宕四十年无解的奇案终于现出一线曙光，御手洗洁决定在一星期内破解这件史上最不可思议、超大规模的占星术杀人魔法！
An amateur detective investigates a string of gruesome unsolved murders in this classic Japanese locked room mystery
Astrologer, fortuneteller, and self-styled detective Kiyoshi Mitarai must solve a macabre murder mystery that has baffled Japan for 40 years—in just one week. With the help of his freelance illustrator friend, Kiyoshi sets out to answer the questions that have haunted the country ever since: Who murdered the artist Umezawa, raped and killed his daughter, and then chopped up the bodies of six others to create Azoth, ‘the perfect woman’?
With maps, charts, and other illustrations, this story of magic and illusion—pieced together like a great stage tragedy—challenges the reader to unravel the mystery before the final curtain falls.
作者简介
岛田庄司，日本推理小说之神，新本格派导师，当代最伟大的推理小说作家之一。1948年10月12日出生，自幼酷爱音乐和美术。1980年以一部《占星术杀人魔法》出道，为日本乃至全世界推理文学的发展打开了一条全新的道路。之后陆续发表《北方夕鹤2/3杀人》等作品，均为场景宏大、诡计离奇的不朽之作。笔下塑造的御手洗洁和吉敷竹史两大神探个性鲜明，已成为无人不知的经典形象。日本很多作家以岛田庄司为偶像，创作了大量“岛田风格”的推理作品。由此开创了“新本格派”推理，成为当今世界推理舞台最重要的一支力量。
Born in 1948 in Hiroshima prefecture, Soji Shimada has been dubbed the "God of Mystery" by international audiences. A novelist, essayist and short-story writer, he made his literary debut in 1981 with The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, which was shortlisted for the Edogawa Rampo Prize. Blending classical detective fiction with grisly violence and elements of the occult, he has gone on to publish several highly acclaimed series of mystery fiction, including the casebooks of Kiyoshi Mitarai and Takeshi Yoshiki. He is the author of 100+ works in total.
In 2009 Shimada received the prestigious Japan Mystery Literature Award in recognition of his life"s work.
