In the academy for gifted ultimates, words are the only currency that matters. And for Kokichi, the market is always flooded with counterfeits. To him, lies are a piece of art.
But the masterpiece is ruined when a motive strips him of his defenses. Caught in a truth trap that makes deception physically impossible, the supreme leader finds his tongue betraying him at every turn. Every secret, every petty insult, and every hidden motive is bubbling to the surface, threatening to destroy the enigma he's spent years perfecting.
Panicked and vulnerable, he retreats to the one place where he might be safe-or where he might be most in danger: the dormitory of the ultimate detective himself, because detectives are supposed to keep everything in order, correct?
Shuichi Saihara has spent his life hunting for the truth, but he's never found it served on a silver platter like this. As he's forced to play caretaker to a man who can no longer hide, Shuichi realizes that the truth isn't the clean, clinical thing he thought it was. It's messy, it's terrifying, and it's staring him right in the face.
With the clock ticking until a body hits the floor, Shuichi must decide if he's ready to hear the one confession Kokichi never intended to make.
"The hardest mystery to solve isn't a murder-it's the person standing right in front of you."
