華文ミステリーの到達点を示す傑作！名刑事クワンと弟子のローが挑んだ六つの難事件。香港警察の「名探偵」と呼ばれた伝説の刑事クワン。2013年、末期がんで余命僅かな彼のもとに、難事件の捜査で行き詰ったかつての部下、ローがやってくる。クワンが最後の力を振り絞り提案した前代未聞の捜査方法とは――。戦後香港の現代史と一人の警察官人生を重ねながら、権力者と民衆の相克を描く華文ミステリーの傑作。綾辻行人氏も絶賛！最初の「黒と白のあいだの真実」を読んでまず、何と高密度・高レベルの本格ミステリであることか、と驚嘆した。続く5つの中編も同様で、「本格」の典型からさまざまに逸脱していきながらも、すべてが実に本格ミステリ的な、優れた創意と技巧によってこそ成り立っているのだ。――という点も含めて、『13・67』は大変に感動的な1冊である。※この電子書籍は2017年9月に文藝春秋より刊行された単行本の文庫版を底本としています。
