| Summary | Japan's brilliant amateur detective, Akechi Kogoro, yearns for cases of grander scale. His wish is granted with the terrifying rise of the "Golden Mask," an enigmatic figure whose golden visage and impossible crimes plunge Tokyo into dread. What begins as outlandish rumors quickly escalates into audacious thefts and cold-blooded murder, culminating in the disappearance of a priceless national treasure. Akechi finds himself locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a foe who seems to defy all logic, effortlessly manipulating events and vanishing without a trace. As the Golden Mask's true, globally infamous identity threatens to unravel everything, Akechi must risk his own life to expose the monster behind the gilded facade and protect not just Japan's heritage, but the sanity of its people. But how do you catch a phantom who walks through walls and flies through the sky? |
