New Contest: The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

The Devotion of Suspect X is due to release in February 2011 in the US.  It's an extremely tight-paced crime novel that features unique lead characters and a style of detective work that may not be familiar to US readers.  It takes place in Japan, and besides the great detective aspect of it, it also gives a fascinating glimpse into daily life among the middle-class.

Additionally, it's interesting to note that immediately upon starting it, you know "whodunit";  yet the resolution is far more complicated.  It's the kind of story where even the most minute detail will come into play at some time further in the story.  I've read it and my review won't be posted until the release date.  However, the publisher sent an extra ARC of it, so I'm offering it to readers in a US only giveaway.
