In the winter of 1937,the village of Okamura is abuzz with excitement over the forthcoming wedding of a son of the grand Ichiyanagi family. But amid the gossip over the approaching festivities,there is also a worrying rumour - it seems a sinister masked man has been asking questions about the Ichiyanagis around the village.
Then,on the night of the wedding,the Ichiyanagi family are woken by a terrible scream,followed by the sound of eerie music - death has come to Okamura,leaving no trace but a bloody samurai sword,thrust into the pristine snow outside the house. The murder seems impossible,but amateur detective Kosuke Kindaichi is determined to get to the bottom of it.
