Chinese Summary/中文概要： 两名遇害者 -- 一名死亡，一名失踪。《纵使亡灵》是本杰明•布莱克所著的血腥真实，令人难以释怀，同时又如同电影艺术的惊悚作品。在每一个网的中央都坐落着一只蜘蛛。病理学家夸克重回市内太平间，检查都柏林死者的情况。当一辆被焚毁的车中出现了另一具死者尸体，夸克被要求详细确认这场看似自杀的案件，因为案的死者是一名大有前途的公务人员。 然而夸克却无法动摇对这场蓄意谋杀背后的怀疑。唯一的证人也已经消失，有关于她的每一个线索也都已经被消除。在拼凑出她消失背后真相的过程中，夸克发现自己被卷入了都柏林背后的阴郁世界：秘密精英社会，教会政治，腐朽的政客，以及那些将失去钱财的人。直到线索最终指向了夸克自己的家族，过往与当下才有所交集。只不过过去的罪行本该被雪藏，但夸克却撼动了这张网络。如今他只有等待，看最终什么会浮出水面。毒瘾，变态性癖，绑架勒索与谋杀，如冬日清晨的利菲河一般平淡冷冽，沁入心脾……夸克身上的人性足以撼动最冷硬的心肠。
”夸克无疑是一名叫人喜爱的主角，生活在20世纪50年代的都柏林 -- 湿冷多雾，邪恶之气--随之唤起的还有冷硬的现实主义与怀旧之感。” 《时代》
“遭受诅咒的亡灵之城，其城民的内心生活也注定封锁，不论被深埋的是什么，它们都是不愉快与未知的。”Metro
