BARRINGTON STREET BLUES: A MYSTERY

Book ID/图书代码： 00110908B30039

English Summary/英文概要： A rich man and a poor man are found dead of gunshot wounds outside a seedy bar on Barrington Street in Halifax. The police declare it a murdersuicide, but bluesman/lawyer Monty Collins — hired to represent the victims’ families — suspects it’s a double murder.
The case gets complicated when the police link the gun to the suspicious death of a high-flying lawyer named Dice Campbell. Helped by his friend Father Brennan Burke, and hindered by his femme fatale law partner Felicia Morgan, Monty explores the dark side of Halifax society: hookers, drug addicts, boozers, gamblers, and people desperate to cover up a series of parties that got way out of hand.
Monty’s investigations lead him to a ruthless businessman with street connections, a preacher who’s been seen cruising for young people, and an oddball psychotherapist who may have overstepped the boundaries of therapy with more than one person in the case. As the story unfolds, Monty finds himself returning again and again to trade barbs with Dice Campbell’s hard-drinking wife, Mavis, whose motives are not as clear as they initially seem to be. But the murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind.
A threat of blackmail, and turmoil with his estranged wife Maura, have Monty singing the blues, lashing out at his closest friends, and spending far too much time in the bars of Halifax.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个穷人和一个富人同时被人枪杀，尸体在哈利法克斯市的巴林顿街一家破旧的酒吧门口被人发现。警方宣布这是一起自杀性谋杀案，然而，代表受害者家庭的律师兼布鲁士乐手蒙蒂•科林斯却怀疑，这是一起双重谋杀案。
当警方将枪支与一位名叫戴斯•坎贝尔的野心勃勃的律师的非自然死亡联系起来时，案子开始变得复杂起来。在好友法兹•布伦南•伯克的帮助下，以及他的搭档---蛇蝎美人费利西娅•摩根的阻挠之下，蒙蒂深入到哈利法克斯市的黑暗面：妓女，吸毒者，酒馆，赌徒，以及人们不顾一切的掩饰和寻找出路。
蒙蒂的调查将他引至一个残忍的商人，一个牧师，以及一个可能超越治疗界限的精神治疗医师。随着故事慢慢展开，蒙蒂不得不一次又一次去和戴斯•坎贝尔难缠的妻子梅薇斯打交道，而梅薇斯的动机和最初相比，也越来越不明了。而此刻在蒙蒂看来，已并非只是谋杀案这么简单了。(zh)
