ANOTHER MAN’S MOCCASINS
Book ID/图书代码: 02330010B35328
English Summary/英文概要: The fourth mystery in Craig Johnson’s award-winning Walt Longmire series delivers more of the taut prose, engrossing characters, and satisfying depth that reviewers have been hailing since his first book. In Another Man’s Moccasins, the body of a Vietnamese woman dumped along the Wyoming interstate opens a baffling case for Sheriff Longmire, whose only suspect is a Crow Indian with a troubled past. But things get even stranger when a photograph turns up in the victim’s purse that ties her murder to one from Longmire’s past-a case he tackled as a Marine Corps investigator forty years earlier in Vietnam.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是继2007年《善有善报》(Kindness Goes Unpunished)之后,警长沃尔特.隆美尔系列的第四部作品。同前作一样,此次我们老辣的警长又将展开一段跌宕的历程,只不过这次是在他内心深处的记忆之中...
故事的开头,沃尔特警长接到了一通报警,有人在阿布萨罗卡县高速公路的旁边,发现了一具越南裔女子的尸体。在死者遗物的调查过程当中,沃尔特竟发现了一张熟悉的相片,那是他与一名越南酒吧女侍的合照,拍于1968年;此物一出,沃尔特随即意识到,此案绝非表面上来的如此简单,因为这令其忆起了多年前还在海军陆战队服役的自己,所接手的第一桩凶杀案件。被害者的身份,加上相片中似曾相识的面孔,都再次将瓦尔特卷入到了回忆的旋窝当中…
老成持重、质朴和蔼的沃尔特警长和老友亨利.斯坦丁.比尔,这两人都曾共同在越南出生入死。此次透过栩栩如生的回忆,他们鲜为人知的一面将展现在读者面前;与此同时我们还会发现,四十年前的沃尔特虽年轻稚气,却同样是那么的嫉恶如仇…(Claire更新书讯)
Awards/获奖情况:In Kindness Goes Unpunished (2007), Absaroka County, Wyoming, Sheriff Walt Longmire took a road trip to Philadelphia. In a sense, he’s on the road this time, too, but his traveling takes place inside his head, after the discovery of the body of a young Vietnamese woman prompts memories of Walt’s first homicide investigation as a marine in Vietnam. It isn’t just the victim’s origins that send Walt down a nightmare-cluttered memory lane; found with her belongings is a picture of another Vietnamese woman, who looks strikingly like someone Walt knew very well more than 40 years earlier. Juxtaposing the current investigation against flashbacks to Vietnam, Johnson is able to reveal several new layers to the fascinating character of the aging, kindly, homespun sheriff and his best friend, Henry Standing Bear, who served with him in Vietnam. This series has distinguished itself so far with its rich portrayal of human relationships and daily life in small-town Wyoming. Those characteristics are well in evidence here, but the addition of the vivid and powerful Vietnam scenes provides a welcome jolt of frisson. --Bill Ott
