Three of Keigo Higashino's best-known crime novels appear together in one volume, offered as a single door into his work.
Each book is a self-contained investigation, and each turns on how a crime was carried out and why, rather than on the simple question of who is caught. Higashino builds his cases around ordinary people under pressure and lets the reader watch both the investigators and those they pursue, so the tension comes from method and motive instead of chases. Taken together the three novels show clearly why his work travels so well in translation, and the omnibus format is a straightforward way to read them in sequence.
Inside the collection:
• Three complete novels gathered in a single volume
• The Devotion of Suspect X, Salvation of a Saint and Malice
• Investigations driven by method, motive and psychology
• A convenient starting point for readers new to the author
For readers of Japanese crime fiction, locked-room puzzles and psychological suspense, available at Boipoka.
