About this title

Synopsis:

When the body of one of Nagano Prefectures most prominent businessmen is found propped against a tree on Poison Plain, home of the legendary Demoness Maple, Inspector Takemura finds himself searching for the killer with the help and hindrance of an esteemed Tokyo professor and a beautiful university student. As the bodies begin to multiply, the three learn that the resemblance of the murders to those of regional folklore is more than a coincidence.
