About This Book

A gunshot on a dark autumn evening sends villagers rushing to a country road where a man lies fatally wounded; neighbors and young acquaintances gather, discover the victim's links to a local woman, and soon focus suspicion on a nearby stable attendant after a witness reports seeing him with a lit lantern. Local authorities arrive and begin a procedural inquiry, and the story traces the investigation while revealing small-community tensions, hidden relationships, and the uncertain steps by which residents try to determine what really happened.
