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, only to die alone in an apartment far away, 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 an empty 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 co-workers have any idea why she was there. Hers is the second suspicious death in that part of Tokyo - the other was a homeless man, killed and his body 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 connection emerges between the shocking murders now and the long-ago secret life 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 climax in a series of rich, surprising twists.

In the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo an unusual statue of a Japanese mythic beast - a kirin - stands guard over the district from the classic Nihonbashi bridge. Late at night, the body of a murdered man, stabbed in the chest, is found on the bridge, under the statue of the winged beast. However, that was not the crime scene - the man was killed a few hundred feet away and his body moved to that position. The same night, a young man named Yashima is injured in a car accident attempting to flee from the police. Found on him is the wallet of the murdered man. The two have no known connection. Tokyo Police Detective Kyoichiro Kaga is assigned to the team investigating the murder - and must bring his skills to bear to uncover what actually happened that night on the Nihonbashi bridge. Why was the murder victim moved? What, if any, connection is there between the murdered man and Yashima, the young man caught with his wallet? Kaga's investigation takes him down dark roads and into the unknown past to uncover what really happened and why. Wings of the Kirin is another mind-bending mystery from the modern master of classic crime, finalist for both an Edgar Award and a CWA Dagger, the internationally bestselling Keigo Higashino.

"With its stopwatch timing, locked-room murder and perplexing abundance of alibis.... Readers are in store for plenty of surprises." --Wall Street Journal 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.

In the latest from international bestselling author Keigo Higashino, Tokyo Police Detective Kaga is faced with a very public murder that doesn't quite add up, a prime suspect unable to defend himself, and pressure from the highest levels for a quick solution. In the Nihonbashi district of Tokyo an unusual statue of a Japanese mythic beast - a kirin - stands guard over the district from the classic Nihonbashi bridge. In the evening, a man who appears to be very drunk staggers onto the bridge and collapses right under the statue of the winged beast. The patrolman who sees this scene unfold goes to rouse the man, only to discover that the man has not passed out, he is dead; that he was not drunk, he was stabbed in the chest. However, where he died was not where the crime was committed - the key to solving the crime is to find out where he was attacked and why he made such a superhuman effort to carry himself to the Nihonbashi Bridge. That same night, a young man named Yashima is injured in a car accident while attempting to flee from the police. Found on him is the wallet of the murdered man. Tokyo Police Detective Kyoichiro Kaga is assigned to the team investigating the murder - and must bring his skills to bear to uncover what actually happened that night on the Nihonbashi bridge. What, if any, connection is there between the murdered man and Yashima, the young man caught with his wallet? Kaga's investigation takes him down dark roads and into the unknown past to uncover what really happened and why. A Death in Tokyo is another mind-bending mystery from the modern master of classic crime, finalist for both an Edgar Award and a CWA Dagger, the internationally bestselling Keigo Higashino.

Detta är en spännande mysterieroman som utforskar tystnadens, hemligheternas och kommunikationens djup. Med mästerlig berättarkonst håller Higashino läsarna fångade ända till sista sidan.

Der er ingen tegn på indbrud eller andet påfaldende, da Osamu Nonoguchi finder sin gode ven, bestsellerforfatteren Kunihiko Hidaka, myrdet i sit hjem. Kriminalassistent Kagas logiske sans bliver udfordret, for både Hidakas kone og Nonoguchi har solide alibier for mordtidspunktet. Alligevel fatter Kaga mistanke til Nonoguchi. De to kender hinanden fra den gang, de arbejdede som lærere på samme skole. Mens Kaga blev politimand, forfulgte Nonoguchi sine forfatterdrømme, dog uden at opnå den samme succes som vennen Hidaka. Med møjsommelighed og en fantastisk sans for detaljen begynder Kaga at trevle sagen op, og måske skal nøglen til opklaringen af mordet findes i fiktion­ens verden. Keigo Higashino har skrevet en puslespilskrimi med en mordgåde, der skal løses med logikkens hjælp. Higashino fik sit gennembrud med spændingsromanen ­DEN HENGIVNE HR. X.

IKKE ALLE GÅDER KAN LØSES AF VIDENSKABENLiget af en mand findes på klipperne ved kysten tæt på den fallerede turistby Hari-ga-Ura. Tilfældet vil, at professor Yukawa bor på samme pensionat, som den afdøde boede på. Og tilfældet vil, at drabsefterforsker Kusanagi involveres i dødsfaldet, for manden var måske allerede død, da han ramte klipperne. Kusanagi og Yukawa indleder hver sin efterforskning af sagen, der er så kompleks, at den måske er umulig at opklare. Men Yukawa er overbevist om, at der findes svar på alle spørgsmål. EN MIDSOMMERLIGNING foregår ved kysten få timers togrejse fra Tokyo. Keigo Higashino skriver mordgåder, der kun kan løses med logikkens og videnskabens hjælp. Han fik sit gennembrud med bestselleren DEN HENGIVNE HR. X, og han er en af Japans mest populære forfattere. "Det her er en krimi, der læses, som du ser en Hitchcock-film, og giver dig kuldegysninger som et godt svensk mord, mens dialogen minder dig om franske krimier. Det er ganske enkelt perfekt." Femina, 6 af 6 hjerter"Perfekt sommerkrimi ... Den er dybt tilfredsstillende skruet sammen." Politiken, 5 af 6 hjerter " … Higashino [giver] os masser af tid til at stifte bekendtskab med bogens personer og til at leve os ind i scenerne på kroen, og det er måske her, at man ud over selve spændingselementet finder forklaringen på Higashinos store popularitet i Japan. Han tager sig tid, og danske læsere kan så også nyde de japanske elementer, der gør bogen så anderledes end den typiske vestlige kriminalroman." Jyllands-Posten, 4 af 6 Stjerner "Det er igen en absolut fornøjelse at være i selskab med Kusanagi og Yukawa samt det store persongalleri, der omgiver dem." Bogblogger.dk"Endnu en dybt fascinerende krimi fra japanske Keigo Higashino." Bogpusheren.dk/Københavneravisen, 5 af 6 stjerner"Keigo Higashino leverer endnu en god og ublodig krimi i langsomt tempo, fuld af vid og bid." Litteratursiden.dk "Keigo Higashino skriver pragtfulde, ublodige krimier fra det moderne Japan, hvor læseren får et godt kig ind bag facaden hos de tilsyneladende så uudgrundelige japanere." Bogrummet.dk (4 af 5 stjerner) "... charmerende og interessant læsning." Avisen Danmark, 4 af 6 stjerner

Da en mand findes død af forgiftning i sit hjem, ligger det ligefor at mistænke hans kone, Ayane, som har indtil flere motiver. Problemet er bare, at Ayane på drabstidspunktet var hundredvis af kilometer borte og har et vandtæt alibi. Drabsefterforsker Kusanaki bliver så betaget af Ayane, at hans unge kollega Utsumi frygter, han har mistet sin professionelle dømmekraft. Så Utsumi gør, som Kusanagi har gjort i årevis, når han har været kørt fast: Hun kontakter professor Yukawa – for kun et geni kan finde rundt i den labyrint, som politiet er havnet i. Men selv Yukawa får svært ved at få virkeligheden til at passe med teorien. DEN OPHØJEDE MORDER foregår i det moderne Japan, stadig præget af ældgamle æresbegreber og en særlig høflighed. Keigo Higashino skriver overraskende og bedragerisk spænding, og han fik sit gennembrud med bestselleren DEN HENGIVNE HR. X. Keigo Higashino, født 1958, er en af Japans mest populære forfattere. Hans gennembrud kom med romanen DEN HENGIVNE HR. X, og siden har hans bøger solgt mere end 25 millioner eksemplarer alene i Japan. Higashinos bøger udkommer verden over, flere er filmatiseret, og han har modtaget en lang række priser, blandt andet den prestigefyldte Naoki Prize, som er Japans svar på Bookerprisen. "Man skal læse Higashino for hans æstetiske, strengt komponerede og høfligt krævende tilgang til krimigenren. Han løfter den." Berlingske ? ? ? ? ? ”Nervepirrende og hjernevridende... Han giver appetit på mere, den gode Higashino." Jyllands-Posten ? ? ? ? ? "En elegant og logisk udredning af den fuldkomne forbrydelse." Politiken ? ? ? ? ?" Keigo Higashinos anden krimi på dansk er perfekt underholdning til hjernen og regnvejret... Oversætterne Mette Holm og Jonas Steno Olsen skal roses for et sprog, der er lige så præcist, som handlingen er logisk. Og morsom. Og tankevækkende. Og meget japansk på den psykologisk høflige måde." Horsens Folkeblad ? ? ? ? ? ”Keigo Higashino leverer igen et brag af en mordgåde, der kun kan løses med logikkens og videnskabens hjælp.” Weekendavisen ”Bogen er en intens, intelligent, fascinerende og spændende rejse ind i en gådefuld stemning.” Drustrups bogblog ”Opklaringen lader vente på sig til de allersidste sider, og igen er det lykkedes for Keigo Higashino at udtænke et plot, der helt lever op til Den hengivne hr. X, som udkom på dansk sidste år. Det er befriende med krimier, der ligger så langt væk fra skandinavisk noir, men i stedet er bygget op om japanske dyder som høflighed og gamle æresbegreber.” Bogpusheren.dk, 5 stjerner"Higashino er en blændende japansk krimiforfatter, der sidste år sendte Den hengivne Hr X ud på det danske marked. Den var fantastisk, det er derfor jeg med spænding åbner denne nye bog. Den indfrier min forventninger." Godbog.dk
