About this audiobook
The Stone Lantern, the second story in the legendary Hanshichi Detective Stories by Okamoto Kidō, is a masterful blend of historical mystery, psychological suspense, and ghostly atmosphere. What begins as the disappearance of a merchant’s beautiful daughter soon spirals into murder, deception, kidnapping, and a deadly conspiracy hidden beneath the elegant surface of Edo society.
At the center of it all stands Hanshichi—still young, inexperienced, and eager to prove himself. Guided only by instinct and sharp observation, he follows a trail of impossible clues: a vanished girl, a bloodstained kimono, mysterious footprints upon a moss-covered stone lantern, and a dangerous female acrobat whose charm conceals something far darker.
Rich with authentic details of nineteenth-century Japan—teahouses, entertainers, river districts, and the hidden world of Edo’s detectives—this story offers not only a gripping mystery, but a vivid journey into a vanished world.
