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.

##（19/50）再理性再逻辑的人，爱情也不会对他网开一面。
评分我应该说过吧，大多数时候，“好人”这个词应该能和“傻逼”这个词互换。所以石神你真是个好人，副教授你真的不能算个好人。以及这本书的翻译质量比南海版赞！多！了！
评分##语言这么平实，情感却如此震撼。村上春树走肾，东野圭吾走心。
评分##真·page-turner...一口气读完
评分##A remarkably plotted suspense novel which was so well arranged in a way from the first page to the last page on a purpose to serve the whole basis for the story. You may not believe such devoted person existed in reality, but once you found out that he wanted to commit suicide, and his life was all about mathematics...you'd believe it's reasonable

评分##great story, though the ending drives me crazy, i hate it. btw, it's really an impossible mission to memorize those Japanese names in English.
评分##This English version is just as dramatic as Japanese version.
