Mathematical Goodbye

Description

Dr. MORI Hiroshi is a prolific author with over 380 published works in Japan as of March 2025. He is renowned for his "MORI Mystery," which has sold 17 million copies. This book is the complete edition that includes all Chapters 1-11 of his third full-length novel, "Mathematical Goodbye." It is the third installment in the S&M (Saikawa & Moe) series, following "The Perfect Insider," the monumental masterpiece that reshaped the history of Japanese mystery fiction, and "Doctors In the Isolated Room," Dr. MORI's maiden work.

Associate Professor Sohei Saikawa of N University and his student Moe Nishinosono, a sophomore, were invited to a Christmas party at the "Three Stars Mansion," the residence of Dr. Shozo Tennoji, a renowned genius mathematician.

The Three Stars Mansion is a building composed of three domes, converted from an old observatory. The central dome houses a planetarium, and in the garden stands a giant Orion statue. On the night of the party, Dr. Tennoji performed an elaborate magic trick, making the Orion statue disappear. He then posed a question to the attendees:

"Human civilization has only been around for a few thousand years. What's the greatest trick in history?"

As Moe investigates a series of seemingly magical murders that night, danger closes in on her. Saikawa races through the nighttime forest to save her. What is the key to unlocking the mystery of the case? And what is the greatest "God's trick" in human history?

This masterpiece cemented the popularity of the S & M (Saikawa & Moe) series, the most beloved master-disciple detective duo in Japanese mystery history, leaving readers with an infinitely expanding sense of afterglow.

At the end of the book, "The Interview About Mathematical Goodbye with Dr. MORI, Hiroshi" is also included.
