THE MEMORY WOOD

Book ID/图书代码: 11701218C00108

English Summary/英文概要: THE MEMORY WOOD by Olivia Scott is a tense thriller and intellectual cat-and-mouse battle-of-wits where an 11 year-old girl must use every shred of ingenuity to survive…

On the most important day of her life, eleven-year-old chess prodigy Elissa Mirzoyan is snatched from a hotel. Hours later she wakes below ground, tethered to a metal post. As her abductor makes a series of bizarre demands, Elissa’s situation looks increasingly bleak – until ten-year-old Elijah North, playing in his local woods, discovers her makeshift cell.

Conscience tells Elijah to report what he’s found. But instinct warns him that doing so will destroy every security he’s ever known.

Elissa, after all, isn’t the first girl he’s found beneath the Memory Wood.

DI Mairaid MacCullagh heads the huge operation to find Elissa, but little about the girl’s disappearance makes sense. Until a video appears on YouTube, with a message that changes everything.

As her abductor’s behaviour grows more extreme, Elissa knows she must act. Only by deceiving Elijah into helping her does she stand any chance of survival. But manipulating him proves dangerous – he’s far, far smarter than he appears. What follows is a deadly cat-and-mouse game of deception and betrayal that will brutalise everyone who plays it.

Losing is unthinkable.

Only the most ruthless will live.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是一部紧张的惊悚小说,讲述了一场猫鼠追逐战,是一场智慧的较量,11岁的女孩必须运用聪明才智才能生存下去……

在生命中最重要的一天,象棋神童Elissa Mirzoyan在酒店被绑架。几个小时后,她在地下醒来,被绑在一根金属杆上。绑架者提出了一系列奇怪的要求,Elissa的处境似乎越来越糟——直到10岁的Elijah North在他森林里玩耍时,发现了她的临时牢房。

良知告诉Elijah应该报告他的发现,但直觉告诉他,这样做会摧毁他所知道的一切安全。

毕竟Elissa不是他在“回忆森林”里发现的第一个女孩。

Mairaid MacCullagh负责寻找Elissa的行动,但他们对女孩的失踪知之甚少。知道一个视频出现在YouTube上,带来了一个改变一切的消息。

随着绑架者的行为越来越极端,Elissa明白她必须采取行动。只有欺骗Elijah帮助她,她才有一线生机。但操纵他其实是非常危险的——他比表面上看起来聪明得多。接下来是一场关于欺骗和背叛的致命的猫鼠游戏,游戏中的每个人都将受到伤害。

输掉游戏的代价是无法想象的。

只有无情的一方才能活下来。(LYR)
