Continuation of the cult intellectual puzzle 'Tokyo Zodiac'.
A unique puzzle connecting the 20th century with an ancient civilization.
On a tiny island off the coast of Louisiana stands a strange 30-meter stone tower. On the seventh, top floor of it, on August 15, 1986, a very famous person, a member of the wealthiest clan in America, was found dead. He... drowned in seawater. His eyes, almost popping out of their sockets, testified: at the moment of death, the deceased experienced a terrible fright. And the body remained in a pose as if he was desperately swimming breaststroke.
The entrance to the tower was closed by a massive, tightly fitting vault door, locked from the inside. No one could have entered the remote building by any other means. In addition, several people continuously watched the tower and its surroundings from morning till evening and did not notice anything suspicious at all. Yes, and the weather was clear.
In America, there is no one who could solve the mystery of this impossible, supernatural death. But on the other side of the Pacific Ocean lives the brilliant detective Kiyoshi Mitarai, capable of finding the solution in a matter of days...
'Nothing has ever puzzled the American police as much as this death in August 1986 and the inexplicable location of the body... And the day before, a strange creature with wolf-like ears, big round eyes, and a mouth that cut from ear to ear was seen near the tower. The monster apparently appeared from the sea late at night.' - Kazumi Ishioka
