When the well-guarded Lord Inaba is murdered in his sleep, all suspect a ninja; so why does Judge Ooka assign one to accompany his crime-solving assistant, Seikei, the fourteen-year-old apprentice samurai from The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn and The Demon in the Teahouse? Fascinating details of eighteenth-century Japan are again woven seamlessly into an enjoyable mystery.
