Kunihiro Tomonaga was killed in front of the French window of his home. The cause of death was a sharp knife piercing his chest. At the time of the crime, Kunihiro was alone in the room. Four people were having a party in the living room. His father Yukimasa was alone in the bedroom. Yukimasa was the mentor of physicist Manabu Yukawa and had been paralyzed for many years.

There was no trace of the murderer at the scene, and no murder weapon was found. But after examining the broken window glass, Manabu Yukawa, known as "Detective Galileo," determined that the murderer was the seemingly impossible Yukimasa.

Without Yukawa Manabu, the case would have been almost impossible to solve, but he was surrounded by a strong sense of uneasiness, not only because he believed that the murderer was his mentor, but also because he vaguely realized that his every move was calculated by others.

"Galileo's Troubles" is a milestone in the history of Japanese mystery novels, containing wonderful puzzles that are refreshing. ——Adao Tian Gao (Naoki Prize judge)

"Galileo's Anguish" is the fourth work in the Galileo series after "The Devotion of Suspect X". Yukawa Manabu showed more humanity and thought more about the human heart. ——Japanese readers
