Description
An endlessly ingenious battle across Japan between dogged detective Akechi Kogoro and the many-faced thief Gold Mask.
A frenzied test of wits between ace detective Akechi Kogoro and the seemingly superhuman and fiendishly clever villain known only as Gold Mask, this is one of Edogawa Rampo's most enjoyable and witty novels. The anonymous fiend, lurking imperturbably behind his glittering mask, leads a frenzied chase across Japan, gleefully using every imaginable trick to outwit his pursuers. But sooner or later he surely has to make a mistake?
Gold Mask is Rampo at his most gleeful and ingenious. It is also a wonderful picture of interwar Japan, mixing new technology and ancient sleights of hand.

About the Author
Edogawa Rampo was the pseudonym of Taro Hirai (1894-1965), generally viewed as the greatest of all Japanese suspense and mystery authors. He was a prolific novelist and short story writer. Much influenced by writers such as Conan Doyle, Chesterton and Wells, his pseudonym is a Japanese transliteration of Edgar Allen Poe's name. Many of his works have been made into films. Perhaps his most famous stories outside Japan are 'The Caterpillar' and 'The Human Chair'.
