KEEP YOU CLOSE
Book ID/图书代码: 00500016B87712
English Summary/英文概要: When the artist Marianne Glass falls to her death, everyone insists it was a tragic accident. Yet Rowan Winter, once her closest friend, suspects there is more to the story. Ever since she was young, Marianne had paralyzing vertigo. She would never have gone so close to the roof’s edge.
Marianne -- and the whole Glass family -- once meant everything to Rowan. For a teenage girl, motherless with a much-absent father, this lively, intellectual household represented a world of glamour and opportunity.
But since their estrangement, Rowan knows only what the papers reported about Marianne’s life: her swift ascent in the London art world, her much-scrutinized romance with her gallerist. If she wants to discover the truth about her death, Rowan needs to know more. Was Marianne in distress? In danger? And so she begins to seek clues -- in Marianne’s latest work, her closest relationships, and her new friendship with an iconoclastic fellow artist.
But the deeper Rowan goes, the more sinister everything seems. And a secret in the past only she knows makes her worry about her own fate . . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要: Marianne Glass死了。所有人都认为这是一场悲惨的意外。但她曾经的挚友Rowan Winter却怀疑其中另有蹊跷。因为Marianne从小就患有麻痹性眩晕综合征,她不可能如此靠近房顶边缘。
Marianne和Glass一家对Rowan来说意义非凡。Rowan十几岁的时候就没有了母亲,父亲也并不尽责。对她来说,这个欢乐的知识分子家庭是一个优雅并充满机会的世界。
但自从他们疏远了之后,Rowan只能从报纸上了解Marianne的生活:她在伦敦艺术界的迅速崛起,她和画廊经理备受争议的情感。如果想要揭开Marianne的死亡真相,Rowan需要了解更多。Marianne是不是有烦恼?是不是有危险?她开始从Marianne的近作、亲密关系、与新朋友反传统艺术家中寻找线索。
但随着调查的深入,Rowan发现一切都显得越来越可疑。而过去一个只有她知道的秘密也令她开始担心自己的命运……(LYR)
