    Summary

    For two years, someone has been killing people and staging their deaths like scenes from classic literature. Satoru, a true crime blogger with progressive vision loss, is the only one who sees a pattern. The killer isn't just murdering. She's creating art.
    When celebrated thriller author Suguru Geto reaches out for a "consultation," Satoru's instincts scream danger. Suguru's books are too realistic. Her timing is too perfect. And the way she talks about violence sounds exactly like the anonymous commenter leaving cryptic messages on Satoru's blog.
    But Satoru has spent her whole life invisible, isolated by her obsessions, understood by no one. And Suguru sees her. So when Satoru realizes Suguru is the killer, she doesn't run. She investigates and tells herself it's about justice.
    She's lying.
    The captivity starts with invisible chains: threats against loved ones, fear mixed with fascination. As Satoru's vision fails and her world shrinks to just Suguru's voice, Suguru's touch, the lines blur between prisoner and willing participant. When a detective gets too close and ends up dead, Satoru has to decide who she really is.
    The survivor everyone thinks she is? Or the accomplice she's been all along?
