After Haruka and Masato's first novel is finally published, you'd think they’d take some time off to shine in their glory...but Haruka, Masato, and their fictional Suzuki find themselves living a mystery novel that isn't quite finished. Distracted by a fellow writer who has been receiving hate mail from a crazed fan, the gang tries to put a stop to the precarious post. But just as one case appears to come to an end, another mystery is brewing--the famous actress Nanami Seto is being stalked...and the stalker seems to be closer than even the Masked Detective knows!
