“随手一截，竟然0差评？”

In last year's Keigo Higashino's works readers' voting event, "Meteor Trip" broke out of the encirclement and landed in BEST15. Regarding this result, the aunt of the editorial department smiled and calmly said that "it was unexpected and reasonable" (in fact, I jumped up and down in my heart, thinking that "it is difficult for those who can't get this immortal product"). Everyone also discussed the top works in their minds fiercely at the copywriting meeting, although "White Night Walking" became the first almost without suspense, but this book is too depressing and depressing, adding to the already bitter days than the American style, and "Meteor Trip" appears like an angel descending, after reading "White Night Walking" and then watching it, it is like taking a dose of good medicine, and quickly healing all the injuries that Keigo Higashino brought you. Healing, so healing.

When writing the copy, I saw that many readers left good reviews for the book, and we in front of the computer nodded frantically while taking screenshots as information, and at one point filled the entire A4 paper. I think that "Meteor Trip" is really a great book, and it will bring more people a heart-warming smile.

"The most beautiful ending in Keigo Higashino's pen, the ceiling of pure love!"

—Edit 1

The story of "Meteor Trip" begins on a summer night.

The three young siblings cover each other and sneak out of the house together to watch the meteor shower. When I returned home after watching it, I found that my parents had been killed. The case became an unsolved case, and the children grew up day by day, not giving up for a moment to find the murderer, and even pretending to be strangers for this. After 14 years, they finally found the murderer, but with it came even greater pain - feelings are uncontrollable, even in the face of a person who knows it is impossible.

Old cases, chasing the murderer, incognito, pretending to be strangers, and taking revenge privately...... There are so many heavy elements stacked on top of each other that no matter how you look at it, this seems to be a story destined for tragedy. But Keigo Higashino just has a way to make it a happy ending.

From the meteor shower that I didn't see when I was a child, to the many bitter years that have not been written, and then to the huge impact when I learned the truth, this story should have been cold, heavy, and full of regrets, but the sincere family affection of the three siblings who supported and trusted each other along the way, and the heart-pounding love of the younger sister later, seemed to be Higashino's pen lightly, missing a new life with miraculous peaks and turns, a possibility to move from the bottom of the valley to the light again.

We can say that Keigo Higashino often writes about society and human feelings, but among his hundreds of works, it seems that there is no one whose family appearance is so desirable, and no one has such a "god-like happy ending".

"East Asian Family Ideal"

—Edit 2

Keigo Higashino said, "What I wanted to write about in 'Meteor Bond' is the bond between family members. They sacrifice themselves for what they love, and live in inner contradictions and entanglements. With a painful sin, how can they be happy?"

When it comes to family in recent years, you will find that the new generation will be more willing to talk about "breaking off". Estranged from his parents, he wants them to be the "bottom" in the friend list, he refuses to go to the door, and he cares about his relatives meaninglessly. Perhaps this is a normal trend in the course of modern society, but behind the cause, there are typical East Asian families.

Parents do everything they can to expect their children to start a family and start a business and provide for them in the future; relatives like to comment and preach, and the sense of boundaries is blurred, which brings endless anxiety and troubles to people; and children do not want to be interfered too much in their lives, but they are trapped in the constraints of family affection, and they seem to have not accepted the love from their families, and they just don't know what to do.

What does the ideal family look like? Keigo Higashino's Meteor Trip describes an atypical East Asian family that may not be perfect in the real sense of the word, but it may be an ideal form of the family.

In this story, family members are the ones who work hard for a common goal, the ones who celebrate together when someone achieves success and don't pour cold water, the one who gives each other trust and understanding when something is not what they want, the one who does not blame each other when there is a problem, but the one who reflects on themselves first, and the one who always puts the other person at their top priority.

The healthiest family relationship may be like the character in the book says: "We are like shooting stars, flying away without a purpose, and we don't know where to burn out." But at all times, there is a bond that binds us together. So, don't be afraid of anything. ”

"It's all called a meteor, and it should shine from the inside out"

- Designer

The outer cover of "Meteor Trip" is made of blingbling pearlescent paper, and the meteor pattern is stamped with silver, which is atmospheric and symbolizes the sparkle of the book in the Higashino universe. The inner seal is a cosmic blue with a silver shower (the key clues in the book are waiting for you to discover), and the ring is lined with gray "silver treasure stars", which is both bright and calm.

We have also specially designed 3 "Shooting Star" bookmarks, representing the different life trajectories of the three siblings, who will eventually meet and be completely and closely connected (1 is included in the book).

There are 3 models in total, and 1 is included randomly

In this era of constant anxiety, I hope that "Meteor Trip" can make you experience occasional warmth, bring you full of love and hope, and be as surprised as raising your head to see a meteor.
