Work Information
Behind a battle for baseball talent, a scout's death draws a case into motion.
Although first published in a magazine, the work is confirmed in the Bunshun Bunko anthology Satsui no Danso, so that book's ISBN is used. It is also known as the source for the film Kuro no Shikyu.
Review Summaries
-
The story is distinctive in tying relationships in baseball to the motive for a case. The heat of competition and desire generate the suspicion expected of a mystery.
