Product details
Jun'ichiro Tanizaki's In Black and White is a literary murder mystery in which the lines between fiction and reality are blurred. The writer Mizuno is working on a story about the perfect murder.

When he notices that this man's real name has crept into his manuscript, he becomes terrified that an actual murder will take place-and that he will be the main suspect.
