Having won the Best Serialized Story 1999 Eisner Award for Grasscutter, Stan Sakai returns with a new Usagi Yojimbo collection featuring six tales of the ronin rabbit's journeys and adventures in feudal Japan.

In The Demon Flute, a village is plagued by a music-playing supernatural killer. Usagi recounts a classic Japanese folk tale in Momo-Usagi-Taro. Two Tokugawa-era whodunits play out in The Hair Pin Murders and Taméshigiri, a pair of Inspector Ishida mysteries. Usagi becomes entangled in a conspiracy to overthrow a lord's throne in The Courtesan. Memory, mystery, and treachery intermingle to form Grey Shadows.
