Murder at the Black Cat Cafe / Seishi Yokomizo ; translated from the Japanese by Bryan Karetnyk.
"In post-war Tokyo, still recovering from the devastating wartimebombing raids, a patrolling policeman passing the Black Cat Cafâe makes a gruesome discovery: the body of a woman, lying in a hastily dug-out hole, with a dead black cat by her side. The woman's face is disfigured beyond recognition, and the cafeâs black cat seems alive and well, so where did the two corpses come from, and why were they buried in the cafâe's garden? As the legendary scruffy sleuth KosukeKindaichi investigates, he realizes the cat's enigmatic madam, Oshima, has a past shrouded in secrecy, and what exactly is her relationship with the owner, Itoshima?"-Publisher description.
