'Murder and time travel collide' Publishers Weekly
In the middle of the family New Year's gathering at his home, Grandfather Fuchigami is murdered. But not for the last time.
For his grandson, Hisataro, has fallen into a mysterious time-loop, in which he must relive the same day again and again.
Every morning after his grandfather's death, Hisataro wakes up with a chance to find the culprit and prevent the murder. But day after day he fails, despite stumbling across clues aplenty in the shape of secret plots, illicit love affairs and jealous rivalries.
With an extremely large inheritance up for grabs, everyone is a suspect - and Hisataro is beginning to wish he could leave this day behind...
Yasuhiko Nishizawa (1960-2025) was born in Akashi, Japan. He studied Creative Writing in the United States, before returning to Japan and beginning to write murder mysteries while working as a university assistant and high school lecturer. His book Serial Murder was shortlisted for the first Tetsuya Ayukawa Award in 1990, and he has been highly praised by authors such as Soji Shimada. The Man Who Died Seven Times is the first of his novels to be translated into English. On his death, it was hailed in the Japanese press as 'a landmark in the history of Japanese crime fiction.'
