Thaniel has received an unexpected posting to the British legation in Tokyo and Mori has business that is taking him to Yokohama.Thaniel's brief is odd: the legation staff have been seeing ghosts and Thaniel's first task is to find out what's really going on. But while staying with Mori he starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons Mori won't--or can't--share he is frightened. Then he vanishes.Meanwhile something strange is happening in a frozen labor camp in Northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow an old friend of Mori's must investigate.As the weather turns bizarrely electrical and ghosts haunt the country from Tokyo to Aokigahara forest Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori's disappearance--and that Mori may be in serious danger.
