      Yoshitaka, who was about to leave his marriage and his wife, is poisoned by arsenic-laced coffee and dies. His wife, Ayane, is the logical suspect--except that she was hundreds of miles away when he was murdered. The lead detective, Tokyo Police Detective Kusanagi, is immediately smitten with her and refuses to believe that she could have had anything to do with the crime. His assistant, Kaoru Utsumi, however, is convinced Ayane is guilty. While Utsumi's instincts tell her one thing, the facts of the case are another matter. So she does what her boss has done for years when stymied--she calls upon Professor Manabu Yukawa. But even the brilliant mind of Dr. Yukawa has trouble with this one, and he must somehow find a way to solve an impossible murder and capture a very real, very deadly murderer

      Tutte le sere, dopo il tramonto, Viola si addentra nel bosco dietro casa. La grave malattia di cui soffre le impedisce di esporsi anche al minimo raggio di sole. Così, quando i suoi compagni sono impegnati con la scuola, lei dorme o sta in casa a suonare, e quando loro vanno a dormire, lei passeggia libera tra gli alberi del suo bosco, in compagnia del buio e di tutti gli animali che lo popolano. Una sera, però, sul sentiero sterrato da cui non passa anima viva, scorge un’auto: un ragazzo tira fuori un corpo pesante dal bagagliaio e lo trascina sul sedile di guida, prima di dare fuoco alla macchina. Poi seppellisce qualcosa nel terreno vicino. Sei alberi dal ciglio della strada: per Viola è facilissimo ritrovare il punto in cui quel tizio ha scavato la buca… e dare inizio alla sua personale, pericolosa indagine. Che cosa ci fanno tanti soldi sepolti nel bosco? E quel ragazzo è forse un assassino? Tornerà a cercarla?
