Manabu Yukawa, the physicist known as 'Detective Galileo,1 has
traveled to Hari Cove, a once popular summer resort town that has
fallen on hard times. He is there to speak at a conference on a
planned underwater mining operation, which has sharply divided the
town. One faction is against the proposed operation, concerned
about the environmental impact on the area, known for its pristine
waters. The other faction, seeing no future in the town as it is,
believes its only hope lies in the development project. The night
after the tense panel discussion, one of the resort's guests is
found dead on the seashore at the base of the local cliffs. The
local police at first believe it was a simple accident-that he
wandered over the edge while walking on unfamiliar territory in the
middle of the night. But when they discover that the victim was a
former policeman and that the cause of death was carbon monoxide
poisoning, they begin to suspect he was murdered, and his body
tossed off the cliff to misdirect the police. As the police try to
uncover where Tsukahara was killed and why, Yukawa finds himself
enmeshed in yet another confounding case of murder. In a series of
twists as complex and surprising as any in Higashino's brilliant,
critically acclaimed work, Galileo uncovers the hidden relationship
behind the tragic events that led to this murder.
