A series of suicides preceded by strange, sinister crow sightings plunges social outcast Koda into the supernatural underpinnings of the tragedies in his small town. Aided by a mysterious new student, Koda races to stop the ancient vendetta from victimizing his community. Romney balances folkloric menace, real-world conflicts, and snarky character notes in this eerie, urgent mystery set in modern-day Japan.
