Case Closed, Vol. 35: Greek Tragedy - Paperback

by Gosho Aoyama (Author)

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.

Flash back to one of the cases that made Jimmy Kudo famous before he became Conan! While visiting his actress mother on Broadway, Jimmy discovers some rotten apples in the Big Apple. Someone is trying to kill the stars of Golden Apple, a musical based on Greek mythology, and the only clue is a golden apple inscribed "For the Fairest." While Jimmy races to crack the case, Rachel stumbles upon a mystery of her own...and a certain man in a black knit cap!
