English Summary/英文概要： Kenneth Abel’s first mystery, Bait, was hailed by kings of the genre. "One of the finest crime novels I’ve ever read," said James Lee Burke. "A gripper all the way," praised Elmore Leonard. Robert B. Parker summed it up in a word: "Brilliant!" Now, Abel makes good on the promise of that debut with a mystery set against the murky world of New Orleans politics, where debts may be postponed but not forgotten, and old loyalties can be unexpectedly betrayed.
Danny Chaisson is an up-and-coming prosecutor until his longtime benefactor, a Louisiana political boss, calls in his chit. Chaisson performs as commanded, but resigns from the D.A.’s office to preempt additional collisions of conscience and politics. He stoops to running small-time errands for the politico as a second career, until he narrowly misses being present for a lethal hit at a local restaurant. When it looks like he’ll be sacrificed as the fall guy in a complex game of public culpability and political spin, Danny goes on the run. He soon allies himself-first professionally, then romantically-with Mickie Vega, a woman from ATF who’s also been set up as a scapegoat. The stakes are high and his odds poor, but Danny has a few tricks left to play before he’ll be dealt out.
Combining pitch-perfect dialogue with plot twists reminiscent of L.A. Confidential, Abel has delivered a crime novel tour de force.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 肯尼耐斯 阿贝尔的第一部怪诞小说,<<诱饵>>在风俗画之王的作品中被引用。詹拇士 力 博客说：“这是我读过的最好的一部小说”，艾默 里奥那多称赞它为“始终如以的残疾人”罗伯特 帕客以一句话来总结这本书“太棒了”。现在,阿贝尔兑现诺言,首度与怪诞小说掀起阴沉的新奥尔良政治世界。在这个世界里人们可以赊帐，但是一定要还，在这个世界里，即使是最忠诚的人也会背叛，而且常常是意想不到的。〈br〉戴尼 卡西孙是一个很有前途的检查官，直到一个路易斯安那的政治商人打电话给他的女朋友。那是一个长期帮助过他的恩人。戴尼按照这个恩人的指示完成他所交代的任务。但是他也从政府部门辞职了，就是为了避免良心和政治之间的冲突。他把短期内为这个商人跑腿做事看成自己的又一份职业，直到他在当地的一家餐厅险些遇害。从表面上来看，他似乎要成为一次复杂政治旋涡游戏的牺牲品和公众谴责的对象。无奈之下他只好逃走，不久以后他找到了自己的第一个同盟者，戴尼后来还爱上了她，这是一位名叫米歇尔 唯加的女子。她曾任职于烟草局也曾被人当作替罪羊。玩政治游戏的风险是很高的，戴尼成功的机会很小，但是他总有办法能在被查处前继续玩下去
完美的沥青对话,引起人联想的<>中的曲折情节，阿贝尔已经将两者结合起来，发表了一部关于车赛暴力犯罪的小说。
