A body is found in front of the bear cage at Inokashira Park, and the shadow of war crimes and a new-religion badge tie the case together. It is an unusual full-scale mystery where an unexpected culprit and a heavy theme coexist.

Bear claw marks and a religious badge bring the postwar darkness into view.
