那夜沒有流星，沒有許到願，沒有得到幸福。

沒有流星劃過天空，卻有把鋒利的刀刃劃斷與父母的羈絆，自此天人永隔。

有明家的長子功一與次子泰輔在某天夜裡打算偷溜出門看英仙座流星雨，抵不過妹妹靜奈的要求，也背著她出門。短短幾個小時，回家後人生全變了樣。為了存活，三兄妹靠著詐騙維生，也因此陰錯陽差地查到當年父母親死亡的線索。

書末陳國偉老師的解說提到:「遺族」這個名詞。在我們從媒體上看到形形色色的社會案件後，大眾只關注那幾天的消息:現場多麼殘忍、手法多麼沒有人性…..或是判決公正與否、懲罰是否符合大眾期望…..但卻始終沒有人注意到「遺族」這個角色，這個只能用回憶去延續與親人愛人羈絆的角色。

遺族三兄妹在社會上利用詐騙辛苦生活，在當初刑警不了了之的調查，以及追溯期即將到期的時候，他們當過假保險業務員、用美人計騙過高收入男子的錢……一場場精密的詐騙細節與幕後準備工作的內容在東野圭吾筆下生動的呈現在我們面前，呈現一個沒有人清楚知道的一種生活方式。

東野圭吾告訴我們，社會案件的傷痛並不會隨著判決成立或是追溯期超過便消失，因為在這個世界上。有一些人稱之為「遺族」，而他們用不同的方式努力的活著，努力讓回憶繼續存在。
