A curious place for the millionaire Kozaburo Hamamoto to build a house, but even more curious is the house itself - a disorienting maze of sloping floors and strangely situated staircases, full of bloodcurdling masks and uncanny lifesize dolls. When a man is found dead in one of the mansion's rooms, murdered in seemingly impossible circumstances, the police are called. But they are unable to solve the puzzle, and powerless to protect the party of house guests as more bizarre deaths follow. Enter Kiyoshi Mitarai, the renowned sleuth, famous for unmasking the culprit behind the notorious Umezawa family massacre. Surely if anyone can crack these cryptic murders he will. But you have all the clues too - can you solve the mystery of the murders in The Crooked House first?"--Provided by

Among the Undead]]></title><description><![CDATA["A dozen students decide to rent a boarding house in the mountains.  A nearby bioterrorism event results in the house being surrounded by zombies. Initially they are repelled by the occupants using swords and spears, but then a murder occurs inside a room locked on the inside.  Paradoxically, a human could not have made the bite marks that killed the victim, but a zombie could not have got into the room. More murders occur. Theories abound, but are knocked down as soon as they are proposed. The solution is an extraordinary exercise in deduction."-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2484076</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2484076</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Imamura, Masahiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2484076126</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798536313961/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
