dans ma pal... littérature japonnaise

Que diable Maigret, Ellery Queen et Hercule Poirot sont-ils allés faire à Tôkyô ? En les invitant, M. Sato a son idée : se faire voler deux millions de dollars, sous leurs yeux. Quel plaisir d'offrir à ses détectives favoris le luxe d'une enquête sur le vif...

Bien entendu, un vieux détective japonais est de la partie : Kogoro Akechi, le héros d'Edogawa Ranpo

Of course, the fact that the writer is not the original one for each detective is felt during the reading, but it was still well done, and I quite like the "extreme crossover" with that much detectives. It's also a good way to get to know some that are not necessarily as well known as Poirot for example.
