BOB BURNS INVESTIGATES - THE CRUISE CONNECTION

Book ID/图书代码： 07861208B23318

English Summary/英文概要： A strong cast of sharply-drawn and colourful characters gives Bob Burns and his two unlikely sidekicks plenty to cope with in an intriguing story of greed, guile, deceit and double-dealing that’s sparked off by the discovery of a severed finger in a cruise ship passenger’s quiche lorraine.
Does the finger belong to an alleged man-overboard victim? Was the man overboard pushed or did he commit suicide? Is it all just a cleverly engineered insurance scam? Does a shady Eastern European billionaire’s interest in gaining control of a famous British football club have anything to do with all of this?
These are just a few of the many questions that Bob&Co. must find answers to as they travel to Mallorca to join the cruise liner Ostentania en route to the Canary Islands. Will they encounter trouble in Tenerife, lawlessness in Lanzarote or, perhaps, even grand larceny in Gran Canaria? Confusing coincidences pop up like mushrooms as Bob strives to solve what he initially considers to be an unsolvable crime – if indeed any crime has been committed at all.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 性好旅行玩樂，與嘲諷西方主流文化的柯爾，這次把犯罪發生地點搬到了白人富豪雲集的郵輪上。一截手指能否證明此人已經死亡？這是一起謀殺還是詐領巨額保險金的案件呢？兇手是還在船上的乘客？還是來自上一個停泊的港口、另有其人？或者是殺了人以後逃之夭夭呢？柯爾以他向來頑皮的手法，描述富豪生活、英國上流社會的橄欖球俱樂部…等，並且不忘旅行作家特質，順道描述風光迷人的加那利群島，令人著迷。(TT)
