Description: Depuis les premières chroniques et l’anthologie poétique du Recueil des dix mille feuilles, au VIIIe siècle, le Japon a élaboré une tradition littéraire profondément originale, aux genres et aux formes extrêmement variés, qui a donné à la littérature mondiale quelques-uns de ses plus grands chefs-d’œuvre : Roman du Genji, Dit des Heiké, poésie haikai de Matsuo Bashô. Renouvelée au contact de l’Occident à la fin du XIXe siècle, la littérature japonaise s’épanouit de nouveau tout au long du XXe siècle, de Natsume Sôseki à Murakami Haruki. Aujourd’hui encore d’une grande vitalité, elle s’interroge et cherche de nouvelles voies pour offrir une vision contrastée, passionnante et souvent décapante, de la société japonaise.

Description: Ishigami, un professeur de mathématiques, est amoureux de sa voisine, Yasuko Hanaoka. Celle-ci est divorcée et élève seule sa fille. Son ex-mari a retrouvé sa trace et la harcèle pour lui soutirer de l’argent. Elle le tue chez elle pour protéger sa fille qu’il a attaquée après que celle-ci lui a brisé un vase sur la tête. Ishigami, qui a tout entendu, y voit l’occasion de se rapprocher d’elle et lui propose son aide. Il entreprend alors de maquiller le crime en le considérant comme un problème de mathématiques à résoudre et donne ses instructions à la mère et à sa fille pour qu’elles se fabriquent un alibi et répondent correctement aux enquêteurs. Un corps nu, la tête éclatée et le bout des doigts brûlés, est bientôt retrouvé au bord du fleuve. L’inspecteur Kusanagi est chargé de l’enquête. Il consulte souvent Yukawa, un ancien camarade d’université qui, grâce ses facultés de déduction logique héritées de son éducation scientifique, l’aide sur certaines affaires. Seulement, le brillant physicien a également connu Ishigami à l’université et ignore encore que celui-ci est le complice du meurtre dont Kusanagi lui a parlé. Les trois condisciples se retrouvent alors pris dans une étrange relation dont ils ne pourront pas tous sortir indemnes. Alors que l’identité du cadavre, pourtant méconnaissable, est assez facilement établie, l’étau se resserre autour de Yasuko Hanaoka et son étrange voisin. Bien qu’Ishigami voie d’un mauvais œil la relation amoureuse que commence Yasuko avec un certain Kudo, il l’appelle tous les soirs pour savoir comment l’enquête se déroule et pour lui donner ses instructions. Si Ishigami fait preuve d’une logique implacable, jusqu’où est-il capable de se sacrifier pour celle qu’il aime en secret depuis toujours ? Ses intentions sont-elles véritablement honnêtes ? Un roman noir sur la folle logique de la passion, par l’un des maîtres absolus du suspense nippon.

Description: 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.

Description: 'The Japanese Stieg Larsson' The Times Detective Galileo, Keigo Higashino's best loved character from The Devotion of Suspect X, returns in a case where hidden history, and impossible crime, are linked by nearly invisible threads in surprising ways. The body of a young man is found floating in Tokyo Bay. But his death was no accident-Ryota Uetsuji was shot. He'd been reported missing the week before by his live-in girlfriend Sonoka Shimauchi, but when detectives from the Homicide Squad go to interview her, she is nowhere to be found. She's taken time off from work, clothes and effects are missing from the apartment she shared. And when the detectives learn that she was the victim of domestic abuse, they presume that she was the killer. But her alibi is airtight-she was hours away in Kyoto when Ryota disappeared, forcing Detectives Kusanagi and Utsumi to restart their investigation. But if Sonoko didn't kill her abusive lover, then who did? A thin thread of association leads them to their old consultant, brilliant physicist Manabu Yukawa, known in the department as "Detective Galileo." With Sonoko still missing, the detectives investigate other threads of association-an eccentric artist, who was Sonoko's mother figure after her own single mother passed; and an older woman who is the owner of a hostess club. And how is Sonoko continuing to stay one step ahead of the police searching for her? It's up to Galileo to find the nearly hidden threads of history and coincidence that connect the people around the bloody murder- which, surprisingly, connect to his own traumatic past-to unravel not merely the facts of the crime but the helix that ties them all together.

Description: A tour de force crime novel from one of the international masters of the form, where a simple murder case questions the simple notions of good and evil, guilt and redemption. A body has been found on a Central Tokyo riverbank, and Homicide Detective Godai of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is assigned to investigate. The victim is identified as a lawyer, Kensuke Shiraishi, and Godai's investigations lead him to one Tatsuro Kuraki, who ends up confessing to not only to the lawyer's murder, but also another one from thirty years ago - for which another man was arrested and died in custody before trial. Kuraki's confession neatly resolves two cases, but there is just one problem: Detective Godai doesn't believe him. What's more, there are two other people who can't accept Kuraki's confession. One is the son of Kuraki, the professed murderer; the other is the daughter of Shiraishi, the victim. As they get closer to the truth it becomes clear that the link between the two murders is murkier and more complicated than they could possibly have imagined - and so is the line between innocence and guilt.
