It was an overnight sensation and was turned into a film and a manga. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIts success was due to the novel twist of adding zombies to a shin honkaku country house setting, but fans of locked room mysteries and closed circle plots need not worry. The iron-clad rules regarding the zombies' behaviour and existence are rigorously observed, and are used to create the boundaries of the mystery in a highly ingenious way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA dozen students decide to rent a boarding house in the mountains. A nearby bioterrorism event results in the house being surrounded by zombies. Initially they are repelled by the occupants using swords and spears, but then a murder occurs inside a room locked on the inside. A human could not have made the bite marks that killed the victim, but a zombie could not have got into the room to make them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore murders occur. Theories abound, but are knocked down as soon as they are proposed. The solution is an extraordinary exercise in deduction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLocked Room International translates and publishes the works of international impossible crime authors past and present.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47252660355321,"sku":"9798536313961","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TzN1eGxjMFE1djV5RjB1ZDdRdWdkUT09.webp?v=1768689115","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/death-among-the-undead-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
