Summary	Roused at an ungodly hour, a cynical private detective is plunged into the secretive world of the Matsuoka family. The stunning but distraught Mrs. Ichio implores him to find her husband, Ichio, heir to a powerful political dynasty, who vanished a week ago as his ailing father lies on his deathbed. Repatriated from Siberia, Ichio was a man haunted—tormented by a forced "pledge" to a shadowy organization and living in constant fear of a terrifying "Phantom Brigade." As the detective uncovers sinister clues—a torn silk, a discarded pearl pin—it's clear this is no ordinary missing person case. With a ruthless younger brother circling the inheritance and dark forces at play, the detective must navigate a web of family secrets and international espionage before Ichio is silenced forever.
