| Summary | A summons to a secluded mountain estate promises a quiet summer for a literary man, but a chilling anonymous letter quickly shatters any illusion of peace. It hints at a past murder and warns of a "dark sea of blood" on a fated day, drawing a bizarre collection of uninvited guests into a deadly game. As escalating murders plunge the isolated household into psychological chaos, the narrator finds himself caught in a labyrinth of tangled relationships and deep-seated grudges. Everyone is a suspect; no one is safe. With his own past inextricably linked to the estate's secrets, he must race to unmask a cunning killer whose methods defy conventional logic. What sinister motive connects these seemingly "discontinuous" crimes, and who will be the next victim in this terrifying intellectual battle? |
