Author: Saho Sasazawa (笹沢佐保)

1930-2002
Saho Sasazawa’s debut novel, 招かれざる客, was a runner-up for the Edogawa Rampo Prize. When Saho Sasazawa won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award with 人喰い, he resigned from his post at the Postal Ministry and became a full-time writer. He has written a lot of mysteries and period novels.

The cover of 人喰い. The cover is very simple: on a completely black background, two thick horizontal blue lines and the name of the author and the title of the book written in red on the black background. No illustration.
