Mitaray's debute case? Great. No one can solve this mystery for nearly forty years?? impressive.

The books contains, slightest astrology and astronomy. Mostly abt the clue of the case and Ishioka's investigations, that found nothing. This novel is interactive, takes the reader to try guessing the case.

One thing i learn about every detective case scenarios; always back to the most impossible scenario if other plausible scenarios are not proven.
Just like here, no one suspect the female model as the murderer and no one ever search it carefully, just bcs every people thought that it's too impossible for female as the cool-blooded killer.
