Higashino Keigo

Acupuncturist Nayuta Kudo treats patients of all walks of life, but many have problems that go deeper than skin and muscle. Although these issues are beyond his power to help, the same can't be said of Madoka Uhara, whose ability to predict physical phenomena gives people hope by solving seemingly impossible mysteries. When Nayuta's path intersects with the young girl's, he watches incredulously as she reads the wind to give a struggling ski jumper the boost he needs to win in front of his family. They meet a second time when Madoka helps a young baseballer learn to catch a magic pitch, and a third when Nayuta's old high school teacher is desperately searching for answers about his son's accident. Madoka asks Nayuta to introduce her to a genius musician, and they find themselves working together to solve the death of the man's partner. But for a girl who can predict the impossible, are all of these encounters really coincidence?

Språk: Japanska Del 10 i Galileo-serien.

Språk: Japanska Detective Galileo, Keigo Higashino's best loved character from The Devotion of Suspect X, returns in Silent Parade, a complex and challenging mystery--several murders, decades apart, with no solid evidence. A popular young girl disappears without a trace, her skeletal remains discovered three years later in the ashes of a burned out house. There's a suspect and compelling circumstantial evidence of his guilt, but no concrete proof. When he isn't indicted, he returns to mock the girl's family. And this isn't the first time he's been suspected of the murder of a young girl, nearly twenty years ago he was tried and released due to lack of evidence. Detective Chief Inspector Kusanagi of the Homicide Division of the Tokyo Police worked both cases. The neighborhood in which the murdered girl lived is famous for an annual street festival, featuring a parade with entries from around Tokyo and Japan. During the parade, the suspected killer dies unexpectedly. His death is suspiciously convenient but the people with all the best motives have rock solid alibis. DCI Kusanagi turns once again to his college friend, Physics professor and occasional police consultant Manabu Yukawa, known as Detective Galileo, to help solve the string of impossible-to-prove murders.
