It will be a detective Kaga's novel, like Malice; the publishing date on Amazon is November 20th 2018.

Here the synopsis:

Detective Kyochiro Kaga of the Tokyo Police Department has just been transferred to a new precinct in the Nihonbashi area of Tokyo. Newly arrived, but with a great deal of experience, Kaga is promptly assigned to the team investigating the murder of a woman. But the more he investigates, the greater number of potential suspects emerges. It isn’t long before it seems nearly all the people living and working in the business district of Nihonbashi have a motive for murder. To prevent the murderer from eluding justice, Kaga must unravel all the secrets surrounding a complicated life. Buried somewhere in the woman’s past, in her family history, and the last few days of her life is the clue that will lead to the murderer.

From the international bestseller Keigo Higashino, author of The Devotion of Suspect X, comes one of his finest works of crime fiction yet.

In Europe it will be released in September 2018. However there's a new one from a different series, Paradox 13.

Only in Spanish, I think.
I read a good Higashino's stand alone novel, La colpa (Guilt), but it was released in Italian only.

Keigo Higashino is a hack. He's like the Japanese version of James Paterson. . If you're looking for Japanese noir that is inspired, check out Fuminori Nakamura.

I'll check out Nakamura, but I don't consider Higashino a hack, and I think Newcomer, with the many small entangled stories that Kaga investigates to solve the murder, confirms it. :)

Also, for Italian speakers (or just reader ^^) on September 20th will be available L'emporio dei piccoli miracoli ("The little miracles' shop", more or less), a novel not translated in English, and also a NON detective novel. :)

Higashino’s next translated novel will be Wings of the Kirin, due in December 13th.
It will be a detective Kaga novel, like Malice and Newcomer (which I loved).
