This month, we will be discussing Five Decembers by James Kestrel.

Winner of the 2022 Edgar Award for Best Novel

December 1941. America teeters on the brink of war, and in Honolulu, Hawaii, police detective Joe McGrady is assigned to investigate a homicide that will change his life forever. Because the trail of murder he uncovers will lead him across the Pacific, far from home and the woman he loves.

This extraordinary novel is so much more than just a gripping crime story—it's a story of survival against all odds, of love and loss and the human cost of war. Spanning the entirety of World War II, FIVE DECEMBERS is a beautiful, masterful, powerful novel that will live in your memory forever.

今月は、ジェイムズ・ケストレル著『真珠湾の冬』を取り上げます。

2022年エドガー賞長編小説部門受賞

1941年12月。アメリカは開戦の瀬戸際に立たされていました。ハワイのホノルルで、刑事ジョー・マグレディは、彼の人生を永遠に変えることになる殺人事件の捜査を命じられます。彼が発見した殺人の痕跡は、彼を故郷と愛する女性から遠く離れた太平洋へと導くことになるからです。

この傑作は、単なる緊迫した犯罪小説ではありません。あらゆる困難を乗り越えて生き抜く物語、愛と喪失、そして戦争がもたらした犠牲を描いた物語なのです。第二次世界大戦全体を描いた『真珠湾の冬』は、美しく、巧みで、力強い作品であり、あなたの記憶に永遠に残るでしょう。
