GOLIATH OF THE TWIN SKIES

This is Suga's third novel.

A renowned butterfly collector returns from an Indonesian expedition only to be found dead on an island off the coast of Izu. Detective Shirato and his assistant Higuchi take up the case. A leather specimen case and a curious wooden panel painting found beside the body hint at deeper entanglements. As the investigation expands, a powerful politician, ambitious collectors, and an elusive artist emerge as suspects, each shadowed by conflicting motives. Across Japan and Indonesia, Shirato confronts a web of desire, rivalry, and unresolved pasts.
