Smith-one of my favorite translators-worked on the novel's translation with Elye J. I was also very excited to learn that Alexander O.
I was happy to receive an advance copy of The Devotion of Suspect X through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. The novel is scheduled for release in English in February 2011 by the Minotaur imprint of St. The Devotion of Suspect X is arguably his most notable book-originally published in Japan in 2005, it won him the Naoki Sanjugo Prize and was made into a film in 2008. (Vertical published his novel Himitsu, "Secret," under the title Naoko in 2004.) This is really too bad since he is both a popular and award-winning author in Japan. The Devotion of Suspect X is only the second of Keigo Higashino's works to be translated into English. The detectives think something is not right with the story, but all the evidence tells a rather convincing story. While he asks nothing in return, he insists that Yasuko and her daughter must follow his plan precisely for it to work. Her neighbor, a brilliant mathematician, named Ishigami, offers assistance to help cover up anything he can regarding the crime. The story follows Yasuko, who has unintentionally killed her ex-husband following a violent struggle in her apartment. Originally published in Japan in 2005, The Devotion of Suspect X would gain Higashino the Naoki Sanjugo Prize and be later turned into a film in 2008. The Devotion of Suspect X: A Detective Galileo Novel is the second of Higashino's works translated into English. Prize for best mystery, amongst several other awards in his career. Higashino has won the Edogawa Rampo Prize for best mystery, the Mystery Writers of Japan, Inc. Author Keigo Higashino is one of the most widely known best-selling novelists in Japan.
