SECURITY: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 00342515B81797
English Summary/英文概要： The inventiveness of A Visit from the Goon Squad meets the down-the-rabbit-hole suspense of The Girl on the Train in this chilling, pulse-racing thriller from an electrifying new writer.
When the gleaming new Manderley Resort opens in twenty-four hours, Santa Barbara’s exclusive beachfront hotel will offer its patrons the ultimate in luxury and high-tech security. No indulgence has been ignored, no detail overlooked. But all the money in the world can’t guarantee safety. As hotel manager Tessa and her employees ready the hotel for its invitation-only grand opening, a killer is in their midst. One by one, staff are picked off with ruthless precision. And before the night is over, as Tessa desperately struggles to survive, it will become clear that the strangest and most terrible truth at Manderley is simply this: someone is watching.
With stunning ingenuity, Gina Wohlsdorf puts readers front and center as the elite resort becomes a house of horrors. Riveting to the final sentence, Security is fierce, wry, and impossible to put down. With a deep bow to the literary tradition of Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and Daphne du Maurier, Wohlsdorf’s razor-wire prose blitzes readers with quick twists, sharp turns, and gasp-inducing terror. Security is at once a shocking thriller, a brilliant narrative puzzle, and a moving, multifaceted love story unlike any other.

当全新的Manderley度假村开始24小时营业时，Santa Barbara的高端海滨酒店为老主顾们提供极致的豪华住宿与高科技安保措施。尽管所有的细节都考虑到了，但即便是世界上所有的钱还是无法确保安全。酒店经理Tessa 和雇员们整备进行盛大的开业典礼时，人群中隐藏了一名杀手。酒店员工接二连三地遇害，漫长的黑夜，Tessa在绝望中寻求一线生机，显然，Manderley 最诡异、最恐怖的真相是：有人在监视他们。
小说充满了独创性，随着故事的展开，度假酒店成为了一座“恐怖之屋”，作者Gina Wohlsdorf将读者置身于情节之中，为读者带来曲折、紧凑的情节、突兀的转折以及令人屏息的恐怖。《安全》立刻成为一部重磅恐怖小说，同时也是一部与众不同的感人、多层次的爱情小说。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“《安全》充满原创性和想象力，叙事手法聪明独到，几乎模糊了故事本身。当阅读小说后半段时，我几乎是一口气看完的。我预计这部小说会成为今年最畅销的恐怖小说”——Sandra Brown，作家
