As Nonoguchi and Kaga continue to spar with each other, the detective digs deeper into the past, uncovering startling revelations about the death of Hidaka’s first wife, the two men’s school days, and their literary careers, before coming up with a solution, and then another, and still another.Įach time you’re convinced Higashino’s wrung every possible twist out of his golden-age setup, he comes up with a new one. Despite the alibi Nonoguchi offers Kyoichiro Kaga and the detailed written account of his movements during the fatal evening, the police detective, who once taught at Nonoguchi’s school, can’t help suspecting his former colleague of “creat a fictional account of the events in order to divert suspicion from himself.” That’s an ingenious idea, but Higashino is only getting started. Returning to Hidaka’s home a few hours after he last saw him, Nonoguchi, accompanied by Rie, Hidaka’s much younger second wife, finds his body, felled by a paperweight and strangled. Hidaka became a best-selling novelist, Nonoguchi a middle-school teacher who retired to write children’s books. Kunihiko Hidaka and Osamu Nonoguchi were childhood friends.
