About the Book: In the gritty quarter known as The Pink Labyrinth, a patrolling policeman stumbles on a young Buddhist monk digging in the backyard of The Black Cat Café—only to find a woman’s disfigured corpse and a dead cat. Who is the murdered woman, how did she connect to the notorious brothel, and what happened to the café’s mascot? When sleuth Kosuke Kindaichi investigates, the tangled truth plunges him into grave danger.
