What Midsummer's Equation Is About

Manabu Yukawa, a physicist, comes to a small seaside town to speak on a panel. The inn he stays at is run by a family whose daughter is an activist against a mining project off the coast. The inquisitive boy he met on the train turns out to be staying there too. In the morning a man is found dead on the rocks below the inn: a retired policeman. Yukawa can see it was not an accident, and what he works out gives him no relief, because the answer touches the boy.
