SISTER CARAVAGGIO
Book ID/图书代码： 11712017C00004
English Summary/英文概要： The small Caravaggio which hangs in the chapel of Doon Abbey in Kildare attracts visitors to the abbey from far and wide. One night, however, the painting disappears. The Sister Superior is unwilling to cooperate with the police, as this would compromise the abbey’s silent-order ethos. Alice Dunwoody, a novitiate at the abbey who heard strange sounds on the night of the theft, persuades Sister Mercy Superior to allow her to investigate, with the help of the abbey’s computer-savvy librarian, Sister Mary Magdalene.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当价值连城的‘卡拉瓦乔’神秘地从爱尔兰农村的修道院里消失时, 这似乎是压倒这个偏远小镇的最后一根稻草。那些依靠门票销售给好奇的旅游者的修女们将不得不变卖所有离开这里。
但不屈不挠的姐爱丽丝姐妹, 在修道院内精通电脑的图书管理员玛格达莱妮姐妹的帮助下, 穿上高跟鞋，重返喧嚣红尘, 开始进入犯罪黑社会追查丢失的名画。(Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： Peter Cunningham (born 10 May 1947, Dublin) is an Irish novelist. He grew up in Waterford was educated at Waterpark School, Glenstal Abbey School and University College Dublin. He worked as an accountant and a trader of commodities until 1986 when his first novel was published. Titled ’Noble Lord’, it was a thriller, written under the pseudonym Peter Lauder. A further four thrillers followed.
In 1993, a novel, ’Who Trespass Against Us’ dealt with the unexpected death of a child.
Four subsequent novels, known as the Monument novels, are set in Monument, a fictionalized version of Cunningham’s hometown Waterford. They are: ’Tapes of the River Delta’, ’Consequences of the Heart’, ’Love In One Edition’ and ’The Sea and the Silence’. In the Monument novels Cunningham fuses political material with psychological realism and a nascent, lyrical sensitivity to place, in this way winning an international reputation as a writer of highly crafted plots and enigmatic dreaminess.
In 2003, ’The Taoiseach’, dealt with current Irish political events, based on the life of Irish premier Charles Haughey.
In 2010, a satirical novel dealing with the collapse of Ireland’s economy, ’Capital Sins’, was published. Peter Cunningham is a member of Aosdána, the Irish academy of arts and letters, and lives in County Kildare.
