ABOUT THE BOOK
A series of drawings made by a young woman before her death. A child’s disturbing picture of his home. A desperate sketch by a murder victim in his final moments. Each contains a warning. Each hides a terrible secret in plain sight.
In this inventive Japanese mystery the reader is the detective: the clues are in the pictures, and the pictures are reproduced on the page. Look closely, and the sinister truth that connects them all begins to emerge.
A word-of-mouth phenomenon in Japan, Strange Pictures is a puzzle-box of a novel – unsettling, addictive and impossible to put down.
