REMEMBER ME, IRENE

Book ID/图书代码: 10820005B11605

English Summary/英文概要: In this gripping addition to the Irene Kelly mystery series, a young reporter learns the hard way that a revered figure from her past is not the man she imagined he was.
In an unsettling encounter on the streets of Las Piernas, newspaper reporter Irene Kelly fails to recognize the homeless man who declares, "I’m not who I used to be." Only later does she realize that he had been her favorite instructor back in college Lucas Monroe. Once a gifted young academic with a promising future, Lucas needs her help, but he’s gone missing. Now his name keeps coming up in association with charges of blackmail and possible homicide. Irene wants to know more but no one is willing to talk. And then she stumbles upon a dead body...

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 我不再是以前的我…… 這句話,曾是一位陌路人對艾琳•凱莉的輕聲耳語,當這位女記者認清了她所知的這個男人時,她變得更加的緊張不安。他是Lucas Monroe(盧卡斯•夢露),她從前的大學導師,有著令人羡慕的輝煌未來。現在他在躲藏中被人們漸漸淡忘,不太可能涉及敲詐和謀殺案中。夢露的生活發生了什麼以至於使得艾琳發生了怪異的變化。但發生在他身上的死亡事件讓她充滿著恐懼。她久無信訊的導師被謀殺了,無論風景如畫的Las Piernas小鎮如何美麗,卻隱藏著一些曾使人非常富有,非常罪惡,和非常危險的過去。(sandy)

Awards/获奖情况:From Kirkus Reviews
Old masters of the classic mystery knew how an enigmatic central character can focus tension and raise the stakes. But Las Piernas News-Express reporter Irene Kelly’s latest adventure features a cast of nothing but such enigmas. There’s Lucas Monroe, Irene’s old sociology teacher, now a street-person who, unrecognized, stumbles across her just days before his sad death in an abandoned high-rise; Dr. Andre Selman, the brilliant sociologist who got Lucas dismissed for cheating and Irene seduced into membership in the ranks of the SOS (``Survivors of Selman’’); Nadine Preston, the grad student who’s been missing ever since Lucas’s fall from grace back in 1977; Allan Moffett, the Las Piernas city manager who seems to be retiring one step ahead of the lynch mob; and John Jones, a.k.a. Two Toes, the homeless schizophrenic who’s appointed himself Irene’s guardian angel. All of them are obviously tied to a long-standing land fraud scheme and a rash of suicides. But with the corruption spread as thick as molasses, it’s hard to care which of these prize petunias is finally going to end up taking the fall. Too much of a good thing in Irene’s fourth case.
