DOORS OPEN

Book ID/图书代码: 03540008B25895

English Summary/英文概要: For the right man, all doors are open... Mike Mackenzie is a self-made man with too much time on his hands and a bit of the devil in his soul. He is looking for something to liven up the days and perhaps give new meaning to his existence. A chance encounter at an art auction offers him the opportunity to do just that as he settles on a plot to commit a ’perfect crime’. He intends to rip-off one of the most high-profile targets in the capital - the National Gallery of Scotland. So, together with two close friends from the art world, he devises a plan to a lift some of the most valuable artwork around. But of course, the real trick is to rob the place for all its worth whilst persuading the world that no crime was ever committed. But soon after he enters the dark waters of the criminal underworld he realises that it’s very easy to drown...

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 所有的門都會向合適的人打開…… 邁克白手起家,自由時間充裕,心裡有些壞水。他正在尋找一種既可以點亮生活又可以給他的存在賦予新意義的事物。在一次藝術品拍賣會上,邁克終於找到機會,並決定策劃一場“完美犯罪”——從蘇格蘭國家美術館裡偷走一件最受矚目的作品。邁克和兩位懂藝術密友一起合作,在珍品展的電梯裡動了手腳。其實他們真正的意圖在於盜竊所有寶物並且向世界宣告並沒有盜竊發生。可是一旦他趟入這淌渾水,他才明白“一失足成千古恨”。(Celia)

Awards/获奖情况:“《Doors Open》非常有意思。情節節奏快,動感強,人物聰穎,對話精彩。魯布斯在書中也有提到,當員警說起警局的時候,他說‘那個人退休後,警局就安靜了好多。’” ——《泰晤士報》

“蘭金是個講故事的好手。我是在希臘的海灘上一口氣讀完了這本書。我嘗試做點別的事情打斷故事,比如那個遮陽帽、倒杯啤酒或是查看下手機,但總是要看完一章後才會去幹點別的然後又回來閱讀,不讀完不甘休。” ——英國《衛報》安德魯•瑪律

’It convincingly shows that he can move with aplomb into another crime form, and tell a story that’s typically at once gripping and full of subtle effects, without his depressive detective holding it together’ (John Dugdale SUNDAY TIMES )
’Doors Open is a lot of fun. It’s pacy, witty, full of action, twists and splendid dialogue. And Rebus does make a subtle appearance when an officer describes his police station as "a damn sight quieter since you-know-who retired" ’ (THE TIMES )
’Because Rankin is a master story-teller, that means the reader is quickly swept up and carried along. I read this in one sitting, on a swelteringly hot beach in Greece; I kept meaning to do other things - find a beer, fetch a sunhat, check the BlackBerry - but somehow had to keep putting them off until I finished this chapter; and then the next; until I’d reached the end’ (Andrew Marr GUARDIAN )
’An immensely satisfying, bloody and constantly surprising story of middle-class amateurs mixing it with the big boys. And, as usual, Edinburgh - "a village masquerading as a city" - is a character in itself. So much so that "you-know-who" is hardly missed! (EVENING STANDARD )
’Rankin has taken a holiday from Rebus before, notably in the Jack Harvey thrillers. Here he is trying something new, a "caper" that is also a publishing experiment. Doors Open was serialised in the New York Times so it should reach even more readers than Rebus did’ (TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT )
’It’s different - and it’s good’ (Carla McKay DAILY MAIL )
’Rankin is having fun here, name-checking Ocean’s Eleven and Banksy, inverting the Rebus idea and writing a heist thriller from the criminals’ point of view’ (METRO )
’Ian Rankin can pull off an audacious criminal caper even without his trademark detective’ (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY )
’a superbly-plotted, light-hearted romp which owes a debt to Ocean’s Eleven, but has plenty of charm of its own too’ (BIG ISSUE IN SCOTLAND )
