Shichou Shisu 2012 / 市長死す 2012 / The City Mayor Is Dead , しちょうしす , 松本清張没後20年特別企画・市長死す

The mayor is found dead in the river in a small town known for its hot springs. It’s assumed that he fell to his death, but his nephew just cannot understand why his uncle would have gone there by himself to begin with. When he cleans up his house, he finds his uncle’s diary and tries to find out what exactly happened.
