Plot summary
Nancy Drew is in Japan to attend the wedding of her friend Midori Kato, who had previously been an exchange student in River Heights. Just before the wedding ceremony, Midori disappears and Nancy investigates. Nancy’s sleuthing takes her from the worlds of the stolid Japanese high tech businessmen to the alternative lifestyle of Tokyo’s art students. This story takes place entirely within Tokyo, and George Fayne accompanies her on this adventure.
At the beginning of the story, Nancy does state that she has been to Japan before (see Nancy Drew #56 The Thirteenth Pearl). What is most unusual in this story is that Nancy can understand and speak some Japanese, and even more rare, is able to read the characters as well.
