Case Closed Vol. 90
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.
BLACK DEATH
Conan’s investigations have finally drawn him closer to the Men in Black and the drug that turned him into a kid. To dig deeper, he’ll need to solve a double murder in America that stumped the authorities 17 years ago. When a TV psychic claims to be able to contact the ghost of one of the victims, the cold case suddenly turns hot. And a song with lyrics that may point to the Men in Black attracts the dangerous attention of Vermouth, the crime syndicate’s mistress of disguise!
