WILLING TO DIE (ALVAREZ AND PESCOLI NOVEL)
Book ID/图书代码: 14780019C00010
English Summary/英文概要: The crime scene is as puzzling as it is brutal. Doctor Paul Latham and his wife, Brindel, are found dead in separate beds in their beautiful San Francisco home, each the victim of a gunshot wound to the head. There are no signs of forced entry, and despite the emptied safe it’s clear this murder isn’t random.
For Detective Regan Pescoli, news of her sister’s death brings grief mixed with guilt. She and Brindel weren’t close, and Pescoli barely knows her teenage niece, Ivy, a secretive girl who lands on her doorstep in Grizzly Falls, Montana. Though
Pescoli is on maternity leave, she’s soon mired deep in the investigation headed by her partner, Selena Alvarez. But as the list of suspects keeps growing, so does the body count…
Maybe it’s exhaustion or hormones that have Pescoli on edge, feeling more vulnerable than ever before. Or maybe the chill running through her veins is justified. Because as the case takes a new, terrifying turn, Pescoli’s loved ones and her life are at the mercy of a killer who’ll go to any lengths to see her suffer…
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 犯罪现场既残酷又令人费解。医生保罗•莱瑟姆和他的妻子布林德尔被发现死在他们旧金山美丽的家中的不同床上,他们都是头部中弹的受害者。没有任何强行闯入的迹象,尽管保险箱已经空了,但很明显这次谋杀不是随机发生的。
对于侦探里根•佩斯科利来说,她姐姐的死讯带来了悲伤和内疚。她和布林德尔关系并不亲密,佩斯科利几乎不认识她十几岁的侄女艾薇。艾薇是一个神秘的女孩,诞生在蒙大拿灰熊瀑布的家门口。虽然佩斯科利正在休产假,但她很快就陷入了由她的伴侣塞丽娜•阿尔瓦雷斯牵头的调查中。但随着嫌疑人名单的不断增加,死亡人数也在增加。
也许是疲惫或荷尔蒙让佩斯科利感到不安,感觉比以前更脆弱。也许她血管里的寒意是有道理的。因为随着案件进入一个新的,可怕的转折,佩斯科利的亲人和她的生活在一个杀手的怜悯下,他们会不遗余力地看到她受苦……(WYL)
