通靈阿初以有通靈能力的少女阿初幫助作為捕吏的哥哥六藏破案的長篇時代補物小說
一些難解的案子 六藏總是能憑藉阿初在案發現場或藉由碰觸屍體等看到案發當時的狀況
抽絲剝解找出兇手或是被害人被殺害的地方
阿初雖然具有特殊的能力 破案卻還是需要依靠邏輯與實質證據的提出
因此搭配了看起來軟弱實則個性謹慎, 細密且聰明的與力右吉京之介
通篇以被借屍還魂的吉次拉開序幕 阿初再次發揮內心之眼的能力 查出吉次被惡靈附身 真正的吉次早已死去
應該就此結束的案子 卻是一切的開端 並牽連到百年前的元祿赤穗事件
每個涉及事件的關鍵人 都有身處當時時代因為當權者所造成的無奈, 悲傷與憤怒
身處在同樣狀況的武士 背景與處境相同 卻因為選擇不同而成為惡靈或是守護者
惡靈之所以是惡靈究竟是大時代下的犧牲者 還是自己選擇的結果?
