[Finnish] - Pahan asialla

"PIRULLISEN NOKKELA. USKOLLISEN NAAPURIN KIRJOITTAJALTA. Menestyskirjailija Kunihiko Hidaka jää viimeistelemään romaaniaan kotiinsa päivää ennen kuin hänen on tarkoitus muuttaa Kanadaan.

Vaikka syyllinen selviää ripeästi, veriteon motiivi aiheuttaa Kagalle päänvaivaa. Mistä tapauksessa on pohjimmiltaan kyse? Tutkimusten myötä kirjailijan elämästä piirtyy esiin toinen toistaan mustanpuhuvampia salaisuuksia, mutta sopivatko palaset sittenkään lopulta yhteen? Mihin pahuus loppuu?

The Final Curtain

"A decade ago, Tokyo Police Detective Kyoichiro Kaga went to collect the ashes of his recently deceased mother. Years before, she ran away from her husband and son without explanation or any further contact, leaving her estranged son with many unanswered questions. Now in Tokyo, Michiko Oshitani is found dead many miles from home. Strangled to death, left in the bare apartment rented under a false name by a man who has disappeared without a trace. Oshitani lived far away in Sendai, with no known connection to Tokyo—and neither her family nor friends have any idea why she would have gone there. Hers is the second strangulation death in that approximate area of Tokyo—the other was a homeless man, killed and burned in a tent by the river. As the police search through Oshitani's past for any clue that might shed some light, one of the detectives reaches out to Detective Kaga for advice. As the case unfolds, an unexpected connective emerges between the murder now and the long-ago case of Detective Kaga's missing mother. The Final Curtain, one of Keigo Higashino's most acclaimed mysteries, brings the story of Detective Kaga to a surprising conclusion in a series of rich, surprising twists."

[Italian] - Sotto il sole di mezzanotte

"Doveva essere un giorno di riposo per l'ispettore Sasagaki, invece è l'inizio di un caso inestricabile che finirà per ossessionarlo per molto, molto tempo. Il corpo di Yosuke Kirihara, stimato proprietario di un banco di pegni, viene rinvenuto in un edificio abbandonato. Sdraiato su un divano, i capelli composti, l'abito elegante, come addormentato, non fosse per quella chiazza di sangue in mezzo al torace. I sospetti ricadono di volta in volta sui familiari, poi sui clienti del negozio, infine su una presunta amante, ma più il cerchio si stringe più la polizia brancola nel buio: non ci sono prove schiaccianti e gli indiziati hanno alibi che si sostengono a vicenda. E, come una maledizione, tutti coloro che hanno a che fare con il caso Kirihara finiscono per morire in strane circostanze. Tutti tranne il figlio della vittima, Ryo, un ragazzo cupo e impenetrabile che vive arricchendosi con traffici illegali, e la figlia dell'amante di Kirihara, Yukiho,studentessa brillante e di una bellezza mozzafiato. Si dice che la pazienza sia la virtù dei forti, ma vent'anni sono davvero troppi, specialmente quando si tratta di un efferato omicidio. Riuscirà l'ispettore Sasagaki a sciogliere il mistero che lo tormenta e a incastrare un colpevole che gli sfugge da decenni? Tra giochi proibiti, violenza e intrighi morbosi, un avvincente rompicapo dal maestro del thriller giapponese. © Giunti Editore S.p.A."

A Midsummer's Equation: A Detective Galileo Mystery

"Manabu Yukawa, the physicist known as 'Detective Galileo,' has traveled to Hariguara, a once-popular summer resort town that has fallen on hard times. He is there to speak at a conference on a planned underwater mining operation, which has sharply divided the town. One faction is against the proposed operation, concerned about the environmental impact on the area, known for its pristine waters. The other faction, seeing no future in the town as it is, believes its only hope lies in the development project. The night after the tense panel discussion, one of the resort's guests is found dead on the seashore at the base of the local cliffs. The local police at first believe it was a simple accident—that he wandered over the edge while walking on unfamiliar territory in the middle of the night. But when they discover that the victim was a former policeman and that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning, they begin to suspect he was murdered, and his body tossed off the cliff to misdirect the police. As the police try to uncover where Tsukahara was killed and why, Yukawa finds himself enmeshed in yet another confounding case of murder. In a series of twists as complex and surprising as any in Higashino's brilliant, critically acclaimed work, Galileo uncovers the hidden relationship behind the tragic events that led to this murder."
