About the book
The Alice Murders remain, to this day, one of the strangest unsolved serial killings in Japan. From 1999 to 2005, a series of five killings took place.
They might have seemed completely unrelated if not for the calling card the killer left at each crime scene: a playing card, different every time, placed somewhere prominent with “Alice” written on it in the victim’s blood. Few clues were found at any of the scenes, and eventually the case went cold.
A fictional retelling of each of the murders, told as a supernatural horror novella.
