Description
"If there's such a thing as a soul, does it remain in this world as long as the bones exist? Will all of my sins and sorrows remain in this world forever?"
Tokyo, 1952. A beautiful, mysterious woman who's haunted by dark dreams claims to have murdered her ex-husband... three times. Meanwhile, a small seaside town is terrorized by a bizarre series of deaths. Four seemingly separate murders are linked by strange, unsettling dreams of bones... Is something supernatural going on, or are the real demons found in the depths of the human mind?
This complex case reunites the sleuths from Ubume no Natsu and Mouryou no Hako: onmyoudou practitioner Chuuzenji, horror novelist Sekiguchi, police inspector Kiba, psychic detective Enokizu and journalist Atsuko.
