Plot

In the middle of the night, someone is murdered. A six-year-old boy, an autistic math genius who sees and understands the world via mathematical formulas, is identified as the suspect in the case. The investigator struggles to unravel the mystery of the formula left behind by the boy at the murder scene. Evidence that the boy has been involved in drug trafficking, fraud, and illegal gambling raises the stakes.

2013년에 출간된 이정명의 장편소설이다. 작가는 수학과 과학의 프리즘으로 세상을 바라보는 천재소년을 주인공으로 삼아 숫자로 이루어진 세계의 비밀을 풀어나간다. 암호같은 수식으로 둘러싸인 주인공의 비밀을 파헤치는 조사관과의 두뇌대결이 흥미롭게 펼쳐진다.

This novel by Lee Jung-myung was published in 2013. Through the point of view of a genius boy who sees the world through a prism of science and mathematics, the author unfolds a mystery made up of numbers, launching a thrilling cerebral battle between a boy surrounded by cipher-like formulae and an investigator who must uncover his secrets.
