HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 10820015B81203
English Summary/英文概要： New York Times bestseller James Lee Burke returns with his latest masterpiece, the story of a father and son separated by war and circumstance—and whose encounter with the legendary Holy Grail will change their lives forever.
From its opening scene in revolutionary Mexico to the Battle of the Marne in 1918, and on to the bordellos and saloons of San Antonio during the reign of the Hole in the Wall Gang, House of the Rising Sun is an epic tale of love, loss, betrayal, vengeance, and retribution that follows Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland on his journey to reunite with his estranged son, Ishmael, a captain in the United States Army.
After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Hackberry escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifact, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who then places Hack’s son Ishmael squarely in the cross hairs of a plot to recapture his prize, believed to be the mythic cup of Christ.
Along the way, we meet three extraordinary women: Ruby Dansen, the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael’s mother and Hackberry’s one true love; Beatrice DeMolay, a brothel madam descended from the crusader knight who brought the shroud of Turin back from the Holy Land; and Maggie Bassett, one-time lover of the Sundance Kid, whose wiles rival those of Lady Macbeth. In her own way, each woman will aid Hackberry in his quest to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to return the Grail to its rightful place.
House of the Rising Sun is James Lee Burke’s finest novel to date, and a thrilling entry into the Holland family saga that continued most recently with Wayfaring Stranger, which The New York Times Book Review described as “saturated with the romance of the past while mournfully attuned to the unholy menace of the present.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《纽约时报》畅销书作家詹姆斯•李•波克带着其最新力作强势回归，该部巨作讲述了一对因战争和时局而被迫分离的父子故事---而他们与圣杯的偶遇则将从此改变父子两人的一生。
从开篇的墨西哥革命场景，到1918年的马恩河战役，再到影片Hole in the Wall Gang所讲述统治下的圣安东尼奥的妓院和酒吧，《日出之屋》是一篇宏大的史诗故事，有关于爱、迷失、背叛、复仇、报复，有关于德克萨斯州游击队员哈克贝利•霍兰德与失散多年的儿子—美国陆军军官以赛玛利的重逢之旅。
一次可怕的交战，四名墨西哥士兵当场阵亡，哈克贝利带着一件偷来的工艺品逃往国外，此举所换来的不仅是一只残忍血腥的奥地利军火商的仇恨，同时也让哈克的儿子以赛玛利直直的被一个可怕的阴谋所瞄准，为了重新获取奖励，他被认为是耶稣的神话之杯。
在此过程中，我们将遇到三名优秀异常的女性：露比•单森，丹麦移民，同时也是以赛玛利的母亲和哈克贝利唯一的真爱；贝特丽丝•德莫莱，妓院老鸨，其祖先曾是十字军骑士，将都灵裹尸布从圣域带回；以及麦琪•巴塞特，小霸王曾经的恋人，其手段堪比麦克白夫人。每一名女性都将以其特有的方式帮助哈克贝利找到儿子以赛玛利并与其重逢，消灭对手，并将圣杯物归原处。
《日出之屋》是詹姆斯•李•波克迄今为止最为精彩的一部小说作品，作为霍兰德家族三部曲的首篇，实属惊心动魄，引人入胜，该三部曲系列的后续作品包括Wayfaring Stranger，纽约时报书评称其为“浸透着过去的浪漫气息，同时悲伤的应和着现在不甚纯洁的威胁”。（DC）
