金石堂愛情，是最驚心動魄的謎團！
究竟愛一個人，可以愛到什麼地步？
究竟什麼樣的邂逅，可以捨命不悔？
邏輯的盡頭，不是理性與秩序的理想國，而是我用生命奉獻的愛情。
「這是我能想到最純粹的愛情、最好的詭計！」
東野圭吾自信之作，創作生涯偉大的頂點！
在大學時代曾被譽為百年難得一見的數學天才石神，如今只是一名單身、不起眼的高中數學教師，每天唯一的樂趣就是去固定的便當店買午餐，只為了看一眼隔壁鄰居，在便當店擔任店員的靖子的身影。
靖子帶著獨生女美里逃離粗暴的前夫，兩人相依為命地生活在大都市的一角。某天靖子前夫找上門來，兩人爭執不下之際，靖子失手殺死了對方。此時，石神出現在茫然失措的母女面前，提出由他來收拾善後的建議。
這世上不可能存在完美無缺的完全犯罪，然而以草薙為首的調查陣營始終找不到突破的可能性，只好向任教於帝都大學的湯川學求救。而身為石神大學時代舊友的湯川，又該如何接下這來自老同學的挑戰書？
Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko’s next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step.
When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko’s manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there’s something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.
