具体描述
Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko’s next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step.
When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko’s manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there’s something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.

##This English version is just as dramatic as Japanese version.
评分##唉
评分##前面到平淡枯燥似乎只是为了衬托最后的结局的精彩，隐匿的真相和情感在这一瞬间爆发，极致地绚烂。完全被骗了阿！书比电视动人，似乎东野的书拍成电视感觉总是会变差一些。英译比中译感情略细腻。
评分##拖了好几天终于看完了，英文版的形容词很萌=▽=不过还是不满意那个“跟踪狂”的翻译啦【滚
评分##还是有感动的
评分##最近读的五本东野圭吾里最喜欢的一本
