Description
An old friend of Kosuke Kindaichi's invites the scruffy detective to visit the remote mountain village of Onikobe in order to look into a twenty-year-old murder case. But no sooner has Kindaichi arrived than a new series of murders strikes the village—several bodies are discovered staged in bizarre poses, and it soon becomes clear that the victims are being killed using methods that match the lyrics of an old local children's song.
The Little Sparrow Murders follows the legendary sleuth as he investigates, soon realising that he must unravel the dark and tangled history of the village, as well as that of its rival families, to get to the truth.

He went on to become an extremely prolific and popular author, best known for his Kosuke Kindaichi series, which ran to 77 books, many of which were adapted for stage and television in Japan. The Honjin Murders, The Inugami Curse,The Village of Eight Graves, Death on Gokumon Island and The Devil's Flute Murders are also available from Pushkin Vertigo.
