THE BOOK WITH NO NAME

Book ID/图书代码: 09220007B15188

English Summary/英文概要: 【作者序言】
Dear Reader,
Only the pure of heart may look upon the pages of this book.
Every page you turn, every chapter you read, will bring you closer to the end.
Not everyone will make it. The many different plots and styles may dazzle and confuse.
And all the wile as you search for the truth, it will be there right before you.
Darkness will come, and with it great evil.
And those who have read the book may never see the light again.
Anonymous

For many centuries the shelves of a library in South America held a terrible secret. Sitting on these shelves was a book with no name, written by an anonymous author. Everyone who ever read it ended up dead, yet the book always found it’s way back to the library. In 2005 a special government investigator uncovered the truth about the book and it’s link to the murders. Now available in paperback, you can discover for yourself the reason why no one ever read the book and lived, until now...

Detective Miles Jensen is called to the lawless town of to investigate a spate of murders. This would all be quite ordinary in those rough streets, except that Jensen is the Chief Detective of Supernatural Investigations. The breakneck plot centers around a mysterious blue stone—The Eye of the Moon—and the men and women who all want to get their hands on it: a mass murderer with a drinking problem, a hit man who thinks he’s Elvis, and a pair of monks among them. Add in the local crime baron, an amnesiac woman who’s just emerged from a five-year coma, a gypsy fortune teller, and a hapless hotel porter, and the plot thickens fast. Most importantly, how do all these people come to be linked to the strange book with no name? This is the anonymous, ancient book that no one seems to have survived reading. Everyone who has ever read it has been murdered. What can this mean?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 許多世紀以來位於南美洲的一個神秘的藏書閣,裡面的書架上隱藏著一個可怕的秘密。這個秘密就是有一本沒有書名的書,而且出自無名人氏的撰寫。每一個看過此書的人紛紛離奇死去,而書本總是會有方法回到這間圖書館。
終於在2005年,一位特派調查員發現這本書的真相都牽扯與謀殺案有關聯。
現在讀者可以自己發掘為什麼讀過此書而沒有人活下來的秘密….
調查員Miles Jensen被指派到Santa Mondega這個沒有法治的小鎮。鎮上看似平常的街道除了此神秘謀殺事件,在處決犯人的斷頭台廣場還環繞著一塊神秘的石頭:月之眼(The Eye of the Moon)。而每個人都想得到這塊石頭。
一個酗酒的連續殺人犯、一個自認為是貓王的人和混雜在他們兩人之間的一對僧人,再加上一個當地黑道頭子、一個剛從5年的昏迷中醒過來的失憶女人、一位吉卜賽算命師和一個無助的旅館腳夫。這宗密謀越來越複雜。最重要的是,所有人和這本古怪的無名書究竟是有什麼樣的關聯?這本不知道作者且古老的書似乎只要讀過的人就不能倖免於難。每一個讀過的人都被謀殺了。這意味著什麼…
