Book ID/图书代码： 05430005B09641
English Summary/英文概要： Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes. A born sceptic, he believes everything has a rational explanation.But when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Questions mount: Why has the community been accused of Satanism? What has happened to their leader, Pastor Malachi Dove?And perhaps most important, why will no one discuss the strange apparition seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island?
Their confrontation, and its violent and bloody aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oaksey to question the nature of evil, and whether he might not be responsible for the terrible crime about to unfold.
In her compulsive and haunting new novel, Mo Hayder dares her readers to face their fears head on and to look at what lurks beneath the surface of everyday normality. Pig Island is about the unspeakable things people can do to each other.Brace yourself for a terrifying read.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 新聞工作者喬·奧克斯以揭露超自然的騙局為生。天性懷疑一切的她，從生存於北美洲西北部森林的大腳怪到蘇格蘭高原尼斯湖的水妖，他相信一切有一個合理的解釋。 但當她參觀完蘇格蘭一處偏遠的海島後，他曾經的信仰受到了徹底的顛覆。
豬島是一個與世隔絕的島嶼。在島的一邊居住著一個秘密的宗教團體，奧克斯受邀在這處停留；而在島的另一邊，在高壓柵欄的後面，裝滿了毒素的油桶，和豬的頭骨，在那裡馬拉基·德芙，社區的創立者和昔日的領導人，被徹底的隔離了。警告很明確。但奧克斯正在跟蹤一種膠捲下抓拍的，一種幾乎不能稱之為人類的畸形生物。
配備以鋼絲鉗和照相機，他穿越在頭骨，深入到德芙居住的山谷，並且最後看見了她想要一睹的生物。違抗奧克斯的後果是很嚴重的，慘痛的教訓迫使她開始懷疑邪惡的本質並面對可怕的現實：他是否應對蘇格蘭幾年內一直滋生的血淋淋的罪行負有責任？更糟的是，他毫無顧忌的行動是否引動一個殺人機器？
《豬島》是一部關於信仰危機的迷人故事，懷疑論是如何成為我們盲從信仰的一部分的。這部作品證實了莫·海德文壇中最具才華的實力。(Sandy)

She’s the bravest writer I know.---Karin Slaughter Mo Hayder is the closest thing we’ve got to Stephen King, which is close enough…the goriest thriller writer this side of the pond---Mirror
Of all the successful British crime novelists to emerge in recent years, she has created the most warped and bloodthirsty visions of psychopathic behaviour. No matter how much you might despise yourself for getting sucked into such places, she is brilliant at making you read on.---Daily Telegraph
An unsettling, expertly crafted novel with a deft final twist---Sunday Times
Hayder’s writing is, as ever, briskly paced and fluid.---The Times
