Abstract

The biggest and final case in the "Ashiya Paranormal Investigations" series.
The key to solving all the mysteries lies in Haruko's past.

The series, which has been ranked number one for two consecutive years since its debut, following "The Telepath of the Abyss" and "The Prisoner of the Poltergeist," concludes in grand style.

The trigger was an email received from a certain group that uses an abandoned hotel as its base. The body of a writer who was skeptical of the "Ashiya Paranormal Investigations" is found in the chapel. Haruko is suspected of murder. There are numerous eyewitness accounts of a dark shadow within the group. And several fragments of the past recorded on videotape. The greatest crisis that Haruko and Koshino have faced so far will drag even the people they have met into the finale. What awaits them at the end? Ruin, or something else...? The unprecedented series that dominated the rankings for two consecutive years since its debut, concludes in grand style.
