武器是逃跑的腳和一張巧嘴。
異能私家偵探被捲入魔界連續慘殺事件？！
伊恩．羅傑斯著《魔都西卡摩爾》（風間賢二譯），即將於3月30日（週一）由新潮文庫發行。
通往名為「黑域」的黑暗魔界入口（傳送門）出現在多倫多近郊的西卡摩爾鎮。恰巧，鎮上正發生連續慘殺事件，而一具血跡斑斑的遺體，竟從現場消失了——不，看起來像是「逃」走了。接獲委託尋找失蹤丈夫的私家偵探菲利克斯，似乎不得不將搜查範圍擴及到他並不想去的「黑域」……。這位主角，究竟是積極還是消極，連他自己都搞不清楚。他所面對（或被迫面對）的事件，實際上是必須解開錯綜複雜謎團的。這部融合了黑暗奇幻般的特殊設定、連續殺人事件、能言善道的私家偵探，以及作為本格推理小說也臻於完美的意外展開。這本讓人忍不住一口氣讀完的超異色推理小說，或許將成為今年度推理小說排行榜的熱門話題。
