日本 平成時代  (1920年九月25日～1995年九月9日)

高木誠一

 推理偵探 consecution detective： 《明顯的殺意》 閱讀高木彬光 Takagi Akimitsu在小说之家的作品!!!

　　高木彬光（1920年9月25日－1995年9月9日），原名高木誠一，是一位生於日本青森的推理小說作傢。早年創作解謎推理小說，而作品中評價最高的則是中後期的社會派作品，包括《檢察官霧島三郎》《破戒裁判》《白晝的死角》等。
　　畢業於京都大學，1948年發表小說處女作《刺青殺人事件》獲得成功，從此開始了推理小說傢的生涯。高木彬光的小說情節緊湊快速，語言活潑，結構非常嚴謹。閱讀起來很迅速，沒有什麽拖泥帶水的場面描寫。可以說表現人物心理是他的長項，他的文筆非常輕鬆，但卻看不到散漫，極見文字功力的深厚。案件的設置和巧妙的推理過程，也很合理，並且很有個人風格。
　　高木彬光在日本推理小說歷史發展中占有一席之地，主要因為他開創了一種新的推理小說題材“法庭派”並把它發揚光大。筆下的主人公多是律師或檢察官等法律界人士，通過他們在所接手的案件的調查中抽絲撥繭的推理，從而找到真正的罪犯。在破案的過程中，高木擅長於穿插人物情感的衝突矛盾，從而凸現出某些社會問題。比如高官厚祿的大臣們的徇私枉法，或是豪門名流背後的醜惡現實。在他的小說中，正直的一方往往是年輕的檢察官或者律師們，他們聰明，冷靜，對生活富有激情，並且正直嚴謹。在這類主角人物中，檢察官霧島三郎是他塑造的深入人心的人物。

　　Akimitsu Takagi (高木 彬光 Takagi Akimitsu?, 25 September 1920–9 September 1995), was the pen-name of a popular Japanese crime fiction writer active during the Showa period of Japan. His real name was Takagi Seiichi.
　　
　　Biography
　　
　　Takagi was born in Aomori City in Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan. He graduated from the Daiichi High School (which was often abbreviated to Ichi-ko) and Kyoto Imperial University, where he studied metallurgy. He was employed by the Nakajima Aircraft Company, but lost his job with the prohibition on military industries in Japan after World War II.
　　On the recommendation of a fortune-teller, he decided to become a writer. He sent the second draft of his first detective story, The Tattoo Murder Case, to the great mystery writer Edogawa Ranpo, who recognized his skill and who recommended it to a publisher. It was published in 1948.
　　He received the Tantei sakka club sho (Mystery Writer Club Award) for his second novel, the Noh Mask Murder Case in 1950.
　　Takagi was a self-taught legal expert and the heroes in most of his books were usually prosecutors or police detectives, although the protagonist in his first stories was Kyosuke Kamizu, an assistant professor at Tokyo University.
　　Takagi explored variations on the detective novel in the 1960s, including historical mysteries, picaresque novels, legal mysteries, economic crime stories, and science fiction alternate history.
　　In The Informer (1965), a former Tokyo stock exchange worker who is fired because of illegal trades. A subsequent stock market crash means that he has no hope of returning to his old career and therefore he accepts a job from an old friend even though he eventually discovers that the new firm he works for is really an agency for industrial espionage. The plot is based on actual events.
　　He was struck by stroke several times since 1979, and died in 1995.
