In the Hannya crime series (four books, twenty-seven crime and fantastic-crime stories), Yiğit Kahraman examines social events psychologically, through the lens of power and the subject, in an apocalyptic and dystopian style. In his first crime novel he again puts his finger on social issues as he hunts a killer who leaves a killer snail, Helena, beside each victim. In a town that lives off whaling, Detective Sabe, caught between protesters and locals, deals with bodies that fall from rooftops, are fed to pigs or torn apart, while also confronting smugglers, horse killers, gamblers, strange sects, yakuza bosses, casinos and many other criminals. Pursuing a killer who is hunting the townspeople one by one, will Sabe be able to solve the mystery within the snail's spirals?

Eight years from retirement, Sabe sees dead herring wash ashore, a young man fall after ringing every bell, and a stranger appear in his pond: Helena, the snail that poisons and devours its own kind. When the same snail emerges from a victim's mouth, the spiral tightens; the prosecutor wants the files closed, and the town catches fire with every new body.
