The Talisman Doll

The Law of Amida Buddha turned the Land of the Rising Sun into the Pure Land. From now on, the killer offers his body to the person he kills, and then descends into hell. Toriumon Rayden— a samurai from Akiyama, an investigator of the Carp-and-Dragon service—investigates cases of violent deaths and miraculous resurrections already known to readers from the novel “The Carp and the Dragon.”

But even death can’t tame the person whose soul burns with passion. Now it isn’t the carp that rises up a waterfall becoming a dragon—rather, a dragon descends from the heavens to become a carp. The investigator Rayden learns this at the cost of his own life.
