The Noh Mask Murder by Akimitsu Takagi

The Noh Mask Murder by Akimitsu Takagi

A wealthy Japanese family believed to be cursed keeps a collection of traditional Noh theatre masks in its ancestral home, and when a murder occurs that appears impossible given the circumstances, the investigation becomes entangled with the family's dark history and the eerie masks themselves.

Takagi, one of the foundational figures of postwar Japanese detective fiction, constructs a classic locked-room-style puzzle steeped in traditional Japanese theatre and family curse tropes, giving Western readers of golden-age mystery a distinctly Japanese variation on the genre's familiar structures.

A classic of postwar Japanese detective fiction, newly available in English translation.
