Lonely Deaths Lie Thick as Snow Vol. 2 (Kodansha, 2026)

Detective Jin Saeki is determined to find the truth behind the Haikawa estate murders-13 children found locked in a basement and starved to death. Juzo Haikawa, the prime suspect, is nowhere to be found, but six young survivors who also lived with him are adamant that he must be innocent. Then, out of nowhere, the police find Haikawa and bring him in... but why would a man who so meticulously hid his activities for years let himself be arrested so easily?!
