A new case from internationally bestselling Keigo Higashino
—newly transferred Tokyo Police Detective Kyochiro Kaga is
assigned to a baffling murder.
Detective Kyochiro Kaga of the Tokyo Police Department has
just been transferred to a new precinct in the Nihonbashi
area of Tokyo. Newly arrived, but with a great deal of
experience, Kaga is promptly assigned to the team
investigating the murder of a woman. But the more he
investigates, the greater number of potential suspects
emerges. It isn’t long before it seems nearly all the people
living and working in the business district of Nihonbashi
have a motive for murder. To prevent the murderer from
eluding justice, Kaga must unravel all the secrets
surrounding a complicated life. Buried somewhere in the
woman’s past, in her family history, and the last few days
of her life is the clue that will lead to the murderer.
From the international bestseller Keigo Higashino, author of
The Devotion of Suspect X, comes one of his finest
works of crime fiction yet.
