THE HOUSE OF FAME
Book ID/图书代码： 05380015B89004
English Summary/英文概要： Hailed by Val McDermid as “a beguiling bastard of a hero,” Oliver Harris’s shrewd, cynical, and brilliant London detective, Nick Belsey, investigates a child’s disappearance in this third novel (after the “heart-pounding” Deep Shelter).
Anyone would want Amber Knight’s life. Twenty-seven, rich and beautiful, she’s living the dream. Her solo music career has eclipsed those of her former bandmates, and she has the cars and clothes and houses that go along with her position at the top of the A-List.
So why has she started acting so strangely?
At least, that’s how it seems to Nick Belsey. A less-celebrated resident of North London, Belsey’s decade-long career at Hampstead CID is coming to an abrupt end but he still can’t seem to kick his habit of getting into serious trouble. When he’s asked by a desperate mother to help find her only son, Belsey’s investigation pulls him into Amber’s hedonistic world. He discovers a realm of excess, obsession, lust and greed—precisely as he’d hoped.
But he isn’t prepared for the blood trail to lead to Amber herself.
As one sickening crime is followed by another, Belsey finds himself chasing answers as his only means of survival. It may be too late to save his reputation but he’s not ready to die just yet. Not at the hands of a celebrity. Utterly harrowing and building to an intense, fraught-laden climax, The House of Fame is Oliver Harris’ best work to date.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： ”奥利弗•哈里斯笔下精明、愤世嫉俗和才华横溢的伦敦侦探尼克•贝尔西，在该系列的第三部书中（在令人激动的《隐蔽所》之后）调查一个孩子的失踪，被瓦尔•麦克德米德称赞为“一个迷人的混蛋英雄”。
每个人都想要过安珀•奈特的生活。二十七岁，富有而美丽，她的生活像梦。她的个人音乐生涯已经超过了她的前乐队成员，她有和她顶端地位匹配的汽车、衣服和房子。
为什么她开始举止怪异？
至少，在尼克•贝尔西看来是这样。作为北伦敦一个不知名的居民，贝尔十几年漫长的职业生涯在汉普斯特德的刑事调查局就戛然而止了，但他还是不能改掉把自己陷入严重麻烦的习惯。当一个绝望的母亲请求他帮助寻找唯一的儿子，贝尔的调查把他推入安珀的享乐世界。他发现了一个奢侈、痴迷、欲望和贪婪的世界，正如他所希望的那样。
但他并没有准备好通向安珀自己的血路。
当令人作呕的犯罪接踵而至，贝尔发现追逐答案是他唯一的生存手段。挽救他的名声可能为时已晚，但他还没有准备好去死。不能毁在一个名人呢的手中。完全触目惊心，建造了一种强烈、时时刻刻的高潮，《名誉之宫》是奥利弗•哈里斯迄今为止最好的作品。(LNL)
