Book One: The Kubikiri Cycle is the first in an addictively suspenseful series that reads like a Sherlock Holmes mystery as narrated by Holden Caulfield. Zaregoto's disaffected by wickedly funny teen narrator finds himself solving a bizarre mystery involving a locked room, a gang of teenage geniuses, and a series of beheadings. With a hip sensibility and dark humor, Zaregoto gives the classic murder mystery a manga-style update!
