The beautiful wife of the famous translator and wealthy merchant, Saigo Matsuyama, appears to have hanged herself... Matsuyama's previous wife (again a well-known beauty) was seemingly murdered by one of his employees - who then committed suicide... Ennin is certain that Matsuyama was responsible for both deaths. But as he struggles to prove this, Matsuyama ingeniously makes Ennin appear utterly foolish... Now it is imperative that Ennin succeed in solving this case - or his reputation, both within Japan as well as abroad, will be forever destroyed...
