This is Heibonsha's special edition of Taiyo, "Edogawa Ranpo" (2023).
The creator of Kogoro Akechi, he is universally acknowledged as the "father of Japanese detective fiction." This book contains essays and critical biographies by a distinguished group of authors that discuss his work, dissecting its appeal.
There are many books named after Edogawa Ranpo, and Bessatsu Taiyo has previously featured a special edition with the same title, but this is a new edition. Familiar people such as Kitamura Kaoru, Onda Riku, Arisugawa Arisu, and Otsuki Kenji have each contributed essays on Edogawa Ranpo's works, so you can read them from a new perspective that was not available in previous commentary books (Ammel).
