ISBN 9781934287132 shared with "Chi's Sweet Home, 5" by Konami Kanata:
http://www.anobii.com/books/Chis_Sweet_Home,_5/01dc1ce1…

Told from the alternating perspectives of children's book author Osamu Nonoguchi and Detective Kyoichiro Kaga, Malice is a why-dunnit with an unexpected twist.

Bestselling author Kunihiko Hidaka has been murdered; his body discovered by wife Rie and childhood friend/fellow author Osamu Nonoguchi. Nonoguchi is in fact the cops' prime suspect, but when he confesses, he provides peculiarly elaborate motives that make the victim out to be the culprit. But why is this author's idea of a perfect crime, to be implicated, and not to get away scott free? Despite having put the real killer behind bars, chief detective Kaga continues to investigate.

Though written several years before any of the current memoir and plagiarism scandals surfaced here in the U.S., the murder at the center of this mystery novel plays on our predisposed empathy for the killer because his victim supposedly plagiarized his novels and embellished his memoir.
