Grandpa's Grocery: The World's Most Super Market (Cover May Change)

"Mr. Prosecutor Tsuchida, I'm being held here as a suspected murderer. But maybe I'm not really the killer. Yes. Maybe. I'm sorry to have to say it like that."

Shiro Hamao, one of the authors who laid the foundations of Japanese detective novels and influenced Japan's most famous crime writer Edogava Ranpo, paints the portraits of two different murders in two short novels in The Devil's Apprentice.

The narrator, who is held responsible for the death of a young woman because of the diary he wrote in his first short novel, "The Devil's Apprentice," both confesses to his other crimes and blames his childhood friend, the prosecutor, for his actions in a shocking letter he sent to the prosecutor of the case. In the second short novel, Did He Kill Them?, a young lawyer pursues the possibility of innocence of a man who is considered by all to have committed the murder and admits his guilt.
