Can Detective Conan crack the case...while trapped in a kid's body?
When ace high school detective Jimmy Kudo is fed a mysterious substance by a pair of nefarious men in black--poof! He is physically transformed into a first grader. Until Jimmy can find a cure for his miniature malady, he takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the cases that come his way. It's no great surprise to find a corpse in Kashiragami Forest--the supposedly cursed forest is a popular destination for would-be suicides. But the latest suicide case has the local police suspecting foul play. Then a tall, dark man with a moustache hangs himself at a local hotel...after claiming to be Detective Moore! Are the "suicides" really something more sinister...and is the killer laying a trap for Conan and the real Detective Moore?Author Biography
Gosho Aoyama made his debut in 1986 with Chotto Mattete (Wait a Minute), which won Shogakukan's prestigious Shinjin Comic Taisho (Newcomer's Award for Comics) and launched his career as a critically acclaimed, top-selling manga artist. In addition to Case Closed, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2001, Aoyama created the popular manga Yaiba: Samurai Legend, which won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1992. Aoyama's manga is greatly influenced by his boyhood love for mystery, adventure, and baseball, and he has cited the tales of Arsène Lupin and Sherlock Holmes, along with the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa, as some of his childhood favorites.
