‘No. 1 in the Top 10 Authentic Mysteries’
‘Won the Authentic Mystery Grand Prize in the Criticism and Research Categories’ The second collection of works by Tatsumi Atsukawa
, a phenomenal talent in the Japanese mystery world! A meticulous plot and bold tricks filled with infinite love for the mystery genre ! A series of overlapping twists and turns that test the limits of ‘real mystery’!

In 2021, Atsukawa Tatsumi's second collection of works, “Matryoshka Night,” following “The Invisible Man Hides in a Secret Room,” which swept various mystery rankings, will be published in Korea. 《Matryoshka Night》 is also structured in the same way as the previous work.

It is not a series of short stories, but an independent story composed under four ingenious settings, all of which are imbued with the author's infinite affection for the mystery genre. As the title suggests, the stories overlap endlessly and are filled with endless twists and turns.

The big setting called 'Corona incident' and each short story's unique setting. In this overlapping setting, Atsukawa Tatsumi unfolds logic that is literally acrobatic. The author's techniques, which she has honed by constantly reading and critiquing mystery novels from all over the world, including plot, foreshadowing, tricks, and twists, are truly admirable.
