What Midsummer's Equation is
Crisp October. A walkway by a tsunami wall. A physics paper flutters into the surf. A physicist on a coastal panel finds a corpse outside his inn. The dead man’s links to the innkeeper’s activist daughter—and a sharp-elbowed boy glimpsed on the train—begin to knot. Masaharu Fukuyama treats the Sherlockian puzzle to a post-Fukushima chill.
