Suspect X “Suspect X” is written by the undisputed king of the Japanese mystery writing world, HIGASHINO Keigo. The body of a male has been discovered, strangled to death, his face pulverized beyond recognition and fingers burned to a crisp. It turns out that the neighbor of the victim’s ex-wife is a college alumnus of brilliant physicist, YUKAWA Manabu, aka “Detective Galileo.” He is ISHIGAMI Tetsuya, a high school math teacher whom YUKAWA personally considers a true genius. Elaborate bluffs, false testimonials, loopholes in logic – all begin to appear in Detective Galileo’s way as if intentionally placed as a challenge by someone with mathematical brilliance.
