THE REFLECTION
Book ID/图书代码： 08885015B81945
English Summary/英文概要： Hugo Wilcken’s first novel, The Execution—a taut, psychological mystery about an average person who commits an accidental murder—got the kind of rave reviews authors dream of: He was compared to Camus and Hitchcock.
Now, in his second novel, The Reflection, the comparisons seem even more appropriate: It’s a smart, creepy, steadily absorbing mystery about an average law-abiding citizen who finds himself inexplicably caught up in a case of mistaken identities—with one of his own patients.
When psychiatrist David Manne is asked by a friend who’s a New York City Police detective to consult on an unusual case, he finds himself being asked to evaluate a criminal who’s the exact opposite of himself—an uneducated laborer from the Midwest who seems overwhelmed by modern day Manhattan circa 1948. But when that laborer tells David that he’s not who the police say he is, David slowly begins to believe it may be true
Unable to stop himself, David begins to look into how the police handle the man, and the hospital they take him to . . . and begins to suspect that the man is caught up in some kind of secret governmental medical testing. Realizing he’s got to rescue his patient, David quickly finds himself battling forces that seem to be even bigger than he suspected, and that now have him in their sights.
When he suddenly finds himself caught with a patient’s i.d. papers on him, he decides on a risky course that seems his only way out: To change his identity, and enter even deeper into the conspiracy, if he’s to find out how to escape it.
Written in relentlessly probing prose with a delicious plot complication seemingly on every page, this is one of the most thought-provoking, chilling, and suspenseful novels you’ll ever read.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 雨果•威尔肯的首部小说The Execution—是一部紧张的心理悬疑作品，讲述了一名普通人偶然间犯下了谋杀之罪名---并且这部作品获得了作家们梦寐以求的为数不多的好评：其被用来与加缪和希区柯克的作品相媲美。
如今，在其第二部作品《》中，之前的比较评论似乎显得更加恰如其分：这是一部巧妙，骇人，同时又持续散发出吸引力的悬疑作品，讲述了一名平凡普通的守法公民突然发现自己身陷一个道不清说不明的冤案之中---另一个则是他自己的病患。
当精神病医生大卫•缅恩收纽约警署的侦探朋友之托，去对一个不寻常的案件进行咨询时，他发现自己即将评估的罪犯简直就是一个截然相反的自己---来自中西部的未受过教育的劳工罪犯，被1948年左右的现代曼哈顿所压垮。然而当劳工告诉大卫自己并非是警方以为的那个人时，大卫慢慢开始相信或许这一切是真的。
大卫无法控制地开始调查警方究竟是如何处理这名男子，他们所带他去的一员。。。。。。并逐渐怀疑男子其实是某个秘密政府医药试验组织的试验品。大卫意识到他必须去解救自己的病人，并且很快发现自己正和远远超过自己想象的巨大力量在奋战，更重要的是对方已经注意到了自己的存在。
突然间，大卫发现自己偶然间获得了一名病人对他进行的身份调查文件，他决定进行一项冒险事业，并且这次冒险极有可能是他唯一的出路：改名换姓，深入到阴谋的最深处，如果他能够找出逃离之道的话。
不屈不挠的探寻加上每页字里行间所蕴藏的精彩、复杂情节，本书绝对你所阅读过的最最发人深思，骇人，并且充满悬念的一部小说佳作。（DC）
