유성의 인연 1
<용의자 X의 헌신>에 이은 히가시노 게이고의 2008년 최고 화제작. 비극적인 살인사건으로 부모를 잃은 어린 세 남매가 별똥별 아래 맹세한 인연의 끈으로 험난한 세상을 서로 의지하며 살아가며, 범인을 밝히기 위해 고군분투하는 모습을 그린 작품으로, 일본 드라마 [유성의 인연]의 원작소설이다.
끔찍한 강도 살인사건으로 부모를 잃은 세 남매는 험난하고 비정한 세상에서 살아남기 위해 사기꾼으로 성장한다. 한 가족이라는 인연의 끈으로 묶인 세 남매가 그렇게 점점 더 완벽한 사기 작전팀으로 변모해가던 중, 그들은 우연히 부모를 살해한 범인을 목격하게 된다.
가족의 붕괴, 아동 범죄, 외모 지상주의, 인간복제 등 그동안 사회적인 문제에 남다른 관심을 기울여왔던 작가는 이번 작품을 통해서 끔찍한 사건 후에 남겨진 사람들의 이야기에 따스한 시선을 던진다. 피해자에게 무심코 던지는 편견이나 무관심을 꼬집으며 사건의 피해자와 유족에 대해 다시금 생각할 기회를 제공한다.

Keigo Higashino (東野 圭吾) is one of the most popular and biggest selling fiction authors in Japan—as well known as James Patterson, Dean Koontz or Tom Clancy are in the USA.
Born in Osaka, he started writing novels while still working as an engineer at Nippon Denso Co. (presently DENSO). He won the Edogawa Rampo Prize, which is awarded annually to the finest mystery work, in 1985 for the novel Hōkago (After School) at age 27. Subsequently, he quit his job and started a career as a writer in Tokyo.
In 1999, he won the Mystery Writers of Japan Inc award for the novel Himitsu (The Secret), which was translated into English by Kerim Yasar and published by Vertical under the title of Naoko in 2004. In 2006, he won the 134th Naoki Prize for Yōgisha X no Kenshin. His novels had been nominated five times before winning with this novel.
The Devotion of Suspect X was the second highest selling book in all of Japan— fiction or nonfiction—the year it was published, with over 800,000 copies sold. It won the prestigious Naoki Prize for Best Novel— the Japanese equivalent of the National Book Award and the Man Booker Prize. Made into a motion picture in Japan, The Devotion of Suspect X spent 4 weeks at the top of the box office and was the third highest‐grossing film of the year.
Higashino’s novels have more movie and TV series adaptations than Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, and as many as Michael Crichton.
