Quick synopsis of the book's plot, generated by our AI models.
When a body is found on the “Seat of the Dead” bench in Nakano Central Park, the victim is identified as rising pop star Mickey Nakano—real name Akihabara Kōichi—sending shockwaves through the entertainment world. Detectives from the Central Precinct are thrust into a tangled investigation that quickly reveals the killer may be someone close to the idol’s inner circle. Their first leads bring them to a slick talent‑agency manager who claims he was protecting Nakano’s career, a nervous stewardess named Otsuka Hiromi who was the last to see him alive, and a cynical freelance writer, Maba Gōsaku, who had been digging into the star’s scandals. As each interview uncovers hidden grudges, financial pressures, and secret affairs, the team begins to suspect that the murder is less a random act and more a calculated move within the cut‑throat world of fame. The mounting evidence forces the detectives to confront which of the three suspects is capable of turning a public bench into a killing ground.
