Plot

On his deathbed, the president of Inae University says that he will pass on the estate to his child who finds a mixed race woman. The woman is the university president’s illegitimate child born in secret during the Korean War, and the only clues to her identity are the picture of a wolf and a number engraved on her buttocks. Shortly thereafter, a female singer of mixed race is found murdered. A dwarf is identified as the suspect, and the dwarf's sister, Seo Hye-in, uncovers the truth of the case and learns that Yu Gyu-ha's family is involved in the incident.

This is a novel by Park Bum Shin, serialized in The JoongAng Ilbo in 1985. A tragic incident that took place during the Korean War causes one’s descendants to become embroiled in a murder case. Following the structure of a mystery novel in general, this novel is considered to have contributed greatly to the popularization of Korean fiction by pursuing “amusement.”

1985년 <중앙일보>에 연재된 박범신의 장편소설이다. 한국전쟁기 벌어진 비극적 사건으로 인해 그 후손들이 살인사건에 휘말리게 된다. 전체적으로 추리 소설의 구조를 따르고 있는 이 작품은 '재미'를 추구하여 한국 소설의 대중화에 많은 기여를 했다는 평가를 받는다.
