She's taken time off from work, clothes and effects are missing from the apartment she shared. And when the detectives learn that she was the victim of domestic abuse, they presume that she was the killer.

And how is Sonoko continuing to stay one step ahead of the police searching for her? It's up to Galileo to find the nearly hidden threads of history and coincidence that connect the people around the bloody murder- which, surprisingly, connect to his own traumatic past--to unravel not merely the facts of the crime but the helix that ties them all together.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102484402399,"sku":"9781250406033","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/YODIb1RmAM9781250406033.webp?v=1781083344"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/keigo-higashino.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
