Product Details
- Robot detective Gesicht investigates a case where seven great robots are targeted in a world where humans and robots coexist.
- Interpol assigns Gesicht to unravel the mystery after discovering that he is also one of the targets.
- The destruction of the Swiss robot Mont Blanc and the murder of a key figure in a robot rights group seem unrelated, but share a conspicuous clue.
- Both victims' bodies have been fashioned into a bizarre collage with makeshift horns, leading to a complex and strange case for Gesicht.

- The story unfolds in an ideal world where man and robots coexist, and someone or something is threatening the existence of the great robots.
