Book ID/图书代码: 12100010B35283
English Summary/英文概要: William Dougal, the amoral but appealing private detective, is on the road to respectability: he is a responsible father and holds down a job. This happy state of affairs suffers a rude setback, though, when he kills a man during a squabble. The killing may have been unpremeditated, but Dougal has no intention of going to the police; instead he is left with the task of disposing of a large, unwieldy body, currently lying on the floor of his girlfriend’s house. Then, seemingly fortuitously, his old rival and current employer Hanbury arrives, a man uniquely qualified to assist with this sort of problem. Indeed, Hanbury is delighted to help a friend in need, but as always there is a price - a price, as Dougal is to discover, higher - and more dangerous than expected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 威廉•杜加尔这名没什么道德原则却又致命的吸引人的私家侦探正一步步实至名归:他成为了一名负责的父亲,并保住了他的工作。然而这一派欢乐的景象很快便遭遇了一场残酷得挫折---在一场争吵中,杜加尔失手杀死了一名男子。可以说这是一场非预谋性的谋杀,因此杜加尔也从未打算去警局自首;相反的,他还有一个任务---他要处理一具躺在女友家地板上的巨大而笨重的尸体。看似偶然的是,杜加尔的老对手,即他的现任雇主汉伯雷就在这时出现了,而他可谓是处理这类问题的老手了。诚然,汉伯雷是很乐意帮助一位急需帮助的老朋友的,只是很多事情并不是理所当然的,一切都有它的价码,而杜加尔发现,这一次的价码,远比他想象中的要更高也更危险。(DC)
