Description
A test of wits between ace detective Akechi Kogoro and the seemingly superhuman villain known as Gold Mask, this novel is a witty and enjoyable read from Edogawa Rampo. The anonymous fiend, behind his glittering mask, leads a frenzied chase across Japan, using every trick to outwit his pursuers. But will he eventually make a mistake? Edogawa Rampo's writing is at its most gleeful and ingenious in this novel, which also offers a fascinating glimpse into interwar Japan, where new technology and ancient sleights of hand coexist. With its clever plot and witty dialogue, Gold Mask is a compelling read that will keep you guessing until the end.
