An exciting and satisfying new mystery featuring the popular detective Galileo by Keigo Higashino, introduced for the first time in The Devotion of Suspect X.

The body of a young man is found floating in Tokyo Bay. But his death was not an accident – Ryota Uetsuji was shot. He had been reported missing the week before the body was discovered by his girlfriend, Sonoka Shimauchi. When homicide detectives go to question her, she is nowhere to be found. She has taken leave from her job and her clothes are missing from the apartment she shared with Ryota. When the interrogators learn that she was a victim of domestic violence, they suspect she was the murderer. However, her alibi is rock solid – she was hours away in Kyoto when Ryota disappeared, forcing Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi to restart the investigation.

If Sonoko didn't kill her abusive partner, then who did? Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi seek the help of Detective Galileo to assist with the investigation...
