But with Kyoto on alert in the wake of the shogun's recent death,a rival shinobi on the prowl, and samurai threatening Hiro and Father Mateo at every turn, Ginjiro's life is not the only one in danger. Will Hiro and Father Mateo unravel the clues in time to save Ginjiro's life, or will the shadows gathering over Kyotoconsume the detectives as well as the brewer?
