书籍简介

金田一幸之助来到偏远的Gokumon岛，带来了一个悲惨的消息--岛上重要的家族之一的儿子死了，在第二次世界大战后，他被送回了家。但是金田一并不仅仅是作为一个信使来的--在他的一句话中，这个垂死的人警告说，他的三个继姐妹的生命现在将面临危险。这位邋遢的侦探决心弄清这个神秘的预言，并在可能的情况下保护这三个女人。

当金田一幸之助试图揭开这个岛屿的秘密时，一系列可怕的谋杀案开始了。他进行了调查，但很快发现自己处于致命的危险之中，既要面对未知的杀手，又要面对当地的宗族，他们对这个外来者插手他们的事务感到不满。

松散的灵感来自于阿加莎-克里斯蒂的《无名之辈》，邪恶的《狱门岛之死》也许是伟大的横尾清史的所有日本经典推理小说中受瞩目的一部。

Kosuke Kindaichi arrives on the remote Gokumon Island bearing tragic news - the son of one of the island's most important families has died, on a troop transport ship bringing him back home after the Second World War. But Kindaichi has not come merely as a messenger - with his last words, the dying man warned that his three step-sisters' lives would now be in danger. The scruffy detective is determined to get to the bottom of this mysterious prophesy, and to protect the three women if he can.

As Kosuke Kindaichi attempts to unravel the island's secrets, a series of gruesome murders begins. He investigates, but soon finds himself in mortal danger from both the unknown killer and the clannish locals, who resent this outsider meddling in their affairs.

Loosely inspired by Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, the fiendish Death on Gokumon Island is perhaps the most highly regarded of all the great Seishi Yokomizo's classic Japanese mysteries.
