Hajime Kindaichi is a world-class underachiever. At school, his only real friend is model student Miyuki - so it surprises everyone when he gets an invite to a classmate's wedding. But Kindaichi notices there's something a little odd about the bride's hometown and the six gorgeous mansions built there. His suspicions are confirmed when the owners of the mansions are gruesomely murdered, one by one. Kindaichi knows he's the only one that can crack this case, but when he learns he may be dealing with a mummy's curse, he wonders if he might be in over his head. Using detective skills that would make Sherlock Holmes proud, this greenhorn gumshoe must uncover the identity of the killer and the secret of the six mansions before he becomes the next target.

Hajime is the grandson of Kousuke Kindaichi, a celebrated detective in his own right.
