"Part Sherlock Holmes, part Harry Bosch, Higashino's hero is a quietly majestic force to be reckoned with." —Kirkus, starred review International bestseller Keigo Higashino returns with his latest mindbender—Newcomer— as newly transferred Tokyo Police Detective Kyochiro Kaga is assigned to a baffling murder. Detective Kyochiro Kaga of the Tokyo Police Department has just been transferred to a new precinct in the Nihonbashi area of Tokyo. Newly arrived, but with a great deal of experience, Kaga is promptly assigned to the team investigating the murder of a woman. But the more he investigates, the greater number of potential suspects emerges. It isn't long before it seems nearly all the people living and working in the business district of Nihonbashi have a motive for murder. To prevent the murderer from eluding justice, Kaga must unravel all the secrets surrounding a complicated life. Buried somewhere in the woman's past, in her family history, and the last few days of her life is the clue that will lead to the murderer. From the international bestseller Keigo Higashino, author of The Devotion of Suspect X, comes one of his finest works of crime fiction yet.

Narrator P.J. Ochlan takes listeners through the intricate twists and turns as seen through Detective Kyochiro Kaga's eyes. In the teeming streets of Tokyo, Kaga has his work cut out for him. He is assigned to a new district and immediately thrust into a complicated investigation that will challenge even his considerable skills. Ochlan is steady, confident, and consistent in his delivery, if a little predictable at times. Fans of police thrillers will overlook a somewhat formal style for the chance to guess who the murderer is. Listening to this in short sessions is suggested as Ochlan's unwavering pace requires listeners to pay attention so as not to miss important details. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
