There’s a mass murderer in the sleepy seaside town of Yôroppa who is listening to all the local gossip and using it to select his next victim. Only by keeping quiet can the inhabitants of the town hope to save themselves. Everyone is a suspect but, boy, can they gossip.
We see the town through this whining testimony of collective hatred, envy, rage, pride... each chapter is a different townsperson’s opinion on what’s happening in the novel.
When all of the major suspects have been killed off, who will remain as the prime suspect?
