Murder A village famous for its puppets, the inhabitants of Yanshan Village disappeared overnight without a word! Without a trace of violence, for no reason at all, hundreds of people vanished, leaving a mystery for future generations to solve. Since then, the inhabitants of neighbouring villages have referred to the village as ‘the village cursed by the puppets’ and have been silenced by any mention of it. Years later, Han Jin’s party, led by Jiang Chao, a netizen explorer of ruins, arrives at the village, which is considered a forbidden place. With ancient monuments filled with incantations, puppets scattered throughout, and a series of strange deaths… , can Han Jin, once again in danger, wait for Chen Jue’s rescue in the supernatural Village of the Curse? The evil of the Jue curse, the hidden secrets of an abandoned village. Who is behind all the crimes? The third in the series from mathematician Chen Jue. A new work that continues the essence of Ellery Queen’s logic. Recommended by Japan’s leading magazine. 31
