Confirmed for a movie release in Japan in spring 2024!
A deadly game among seven male and female actors who passed the audition
This is a play, or is it real murder?
This is a full-fledged mystery novel by Keigo Higashino, and readers who were thrilled by the bestseller "The Murder at the Masked Lodge" will be delighted by another 'closed circle' work that deals with the so-called 'locked room murder'.
This novel, considered one of the trilogy in the so-called 'Higashino Keigo Lodge Series', features a murder case occurring in an isolated mountain lodge, which may seem like a patterned setting in the world of mystery novels. However, the fact that the seven men and women gathered there are actors who passed the audition for a play, and that they are instructed by the director to enact a murder scene, creates a complex structure where it becomes difficult to distinguish between theater and reality, leaving readers with a thrilling sense of unease about whether the murder is actually happening or just a setup.

A lodge isolated by heavy snowfall,
Now the life-or-death rehearsal begins!
In early spring, seven men and women gather at a pension in the mountains. They are actors who passed the audition for a new play by the theater company 'Guardian'. After the pension owner leaves, a letter from the director arrives for the seven remaining actors. The content instructs them to create the specific details of the play themselves. The director sets the scene as a 'remote lodge isolated by heavy snowfall' and instructs them to prepare for unexpected events that will unfold. However, they are warned that if they use the phone or contact outsiders, their audition success will be canceled.
The next morning, one female member who had been playing the piano late into the night in the recreation room goes missing. A note is found on the floor of the recreation room that reads:
'The corpse is collapsed next to the piano. The headphone cord is wrapped around the neck, and there are signs of strangulation...'
The members interpret the note as part of the director's setup and begin to deduce who the culprit might be, but on the morning of the third day, another female member goes missing, and a bloody weapon is discovered, plunging the remaining members into fear.
A work that only Keigo Higashino, who perfectly understands the human heart, can write
As can be seen from his being often referred to as a 'social mystery writer', Keigo Higashino is a writer who delves into the realities faced by humans and the hearts of those living within them. He always views and depicts the alienation and conflicts of individuals or groups with a warm perspective, which is why his works always contain 'human drama' beyond mere entertainment.
With unparalleled imagination, an incredibly diverse range of themes, unpredictable twists, and a foundation of warm humanity, Keigo Higashino opens a new horizon in mystery novels. In this work, he also delights readers with a complex structure of foreshadowing and triple twists that challenge their intellect.
