IN LIKE FLYNN
Book ID/图书代码: 06830005B03067
English Summary/英文概要: Molly Murphy escapes the typhoid epidemic in New York City in 1902 by going undercover as a cousin of Senator Barney Flynn in his house above the Hudson River. Flynn’s wife still mourns the kidnapping and death of their son, and she has turned to spiritualists for solace. Molly, while investigating the spiritualist sisters, also tries to untangle the web around the kidnapping. Told in the first person, Molly’s adventures strain credulity a bit this time: more than one attempted rape, a poisoning where she forgives and dismisses the guilty party, and the reappearance of an evil figure from her past whom she thought was long dead. Even the Black Hand and the orphan trains play roles. Meanwhile, Molly toys with the affections of an Irish police officer and a Jewish anarchist and is toyed with in return. Too much, to be sure, but series fans will want to see what happens next.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 剛剛起步的私家偵探莫莉•墨菲,因接手前往哈迪遜河谷調查案情的機會,而得以成功逃脫了1902年夏天席捲了整個紐約城的傷寒疫情。這個機會不太可能是由莫莉的前任男友 — 警長丹尼爾•沙利文所提供。因為她發誓要與這個人保持一定的距離,直到他可以甩掉他那位社會名流未婚妻,但她不能錯過前任男友提供給她的破案機會。
丹尼爾雇莫莉去刺探參議員巴尼•弗林位於紐約皮克斯基爾的鄉村別墅內的情況,弗林的妻子,德蕾莎,已成為一個叫索倫森姐妹邪教組織的最新信徒。脆弱的德蕾莎是渴望借用這對邪惡組織姐妹的能力所進行的降神會來和自己尚未成年的兒子接觸,這個孩子五年前被綁架後,就一直杳無音訊;這對姐妹聲稱在綁匪被殺前,能告訴過警方男孩被關押的地點。但警方確信這全都是騙人的把戲。
當莫莉把自己的注意力從索倫森姐妹身上,轉移至弗林家庭成員為被解開的綁架案時,這正是一個抓緊時間找出案情背後真相的緊要關頭。
