Complicato omicidio a Tokyo
In un quartiere residenziale di Tokyo, un incendio notturno distrugge una villa. Tra le macerie, la polizia ritrova i corpi di un consigliere metropolitano e della moglie, un'ex attrice molto amata. Tutto sembra indicare un omicidio-suicidio. Ma per Tsutomu Godai, della Prima Divisione Investigativa della Polizia metropolitana, basta un solo dettaglio fuori posto per far emergere un'altra verità. Con il collega Yamao ricostruisce gli ultimi giorni della coppia, scoprendo una trama di fallimenti, rancori e menzogne accuratamente nascoste. Quando una lettera anonima arriva a rivendicare il delitto come un atto di "giustizia morale", il caso si apre in nuove direzioni: ogni conoscente dei Todo diventa un possibile tassello di un passato che nessuno vuole riportare alla luce. Tra depistaggi, memorie incomplete e un enigma che muta forma a ogni svolta, Higashino firma un thriller magistrale, dove il confine tra colpa e innocenza si assottiglia fino a sparire.

Delitto al mercato dei fiori di Tokyo
Dopo il suicidio del cugino, la giovane Lino cerca rifugio nel giardino del nonno, tra coltivazioni di fiori rari e profumi familiari. Affascinata dal suo mondo, gli propone di creare un blog per raccontarlo. Il nonno accetta, ma con un'unica condizione: non pubblicare nulla su un certo fiore giallo che Lino ha notato in casa sua. Pochi giorni dopo, il nonno muore. E il fiore è sparito. Spinta da un'ossessione crescente, Lino infrange la promessa e pubblica una foto del fiore. Poco dopo, un uomo di nome Gamo Yosuke la contatta: si presenta come botanico, le chiede di rimuovere la foto e insiste per incontrarla. Ma quando Lino arriva da lui, ad aprire la porta è il fratello minore, Sota. Il suo sguardo è incerto, quasi sospettoso. Anche perché Gamo Yosuke di botanica non sa nulla; a dirla tutta, è un poliziotto. Silenzio. Un dettaglio fuori posto. E, all'improvviso, quel fiore scomparso sembra molto più pericoloso di quanto Lino avesse mai immaginato.

Guilt
A tour de force crime novel from one of the international masters of the form, where a simple murder case questions the simple notions of good and evil, guilt and redemption.Homicide Detective Godai of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is assigned to investigate the death of a lawyer, Kensuke Shiraishi, whose body was found on a Central Tokyo riverbank. His investigations leads him to one Tatsuro Kuraki, who claims to have had limited contact with Shiraishi - but, surprising the investigators, Kuraki not only confesses to the lawyer's murder, but another one from thirty years ago - for which another man was arrested and died in custody before trial. This brings unexpected resolution to two cases but there is one problem: to Detective Godai the confession rings false. And Godai is not the only one who cannot accept Kuraki's explanation of both murders and his professed motives. The confessed murderer's son and the victim's daughter both feel strongly that both the act and the motive claimed are untrue. As Godai investigates further, he discovers that the relation between the murder of thirty years ago and the recent one is complex, raising multi-faceted questions of guilt and innocence. Guilt is a rich novel about crime and its aftereffects on those left behind by both the victim and perpetrator, a twisting, compelling work that will surprise and astonish.
