This is a novel by Kim Naesung, serialized in The Chosun Ilbo from February 14 to October 11, 1939. This novel is significant in that it actively pioneered the genre of “detective fiction” in Korean literature, and it received great attention from the public at the time of its serialization

1939년 2월 14일부터 10월 11일까지 <조선일보>에 연재된 김래성의 장편소설이다. 한국 소설계에서 '탐정소설' 영역을 본격적으로 개척하고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 연재 당시 대중으로부터 큰 관심을 받았다.
