GALILEO was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Keigo Higashino (东野圭吾, 1958-), Galileo is a detective. His real name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as smart as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for help to solve hard cases.
