BLOOD COUNT: AN ARTIE COHEN MYSTERY
Book ID/图书代码: 00970010B37060
English Summary/英文概要: Mid-December 2008. Barack Obama has just been elected; all New York is ecstatic, especially Harlem. On a freezing night a few weeks later, detective Artie Cohen gets a late call from his ex girlfriend, Lily Hanes, begging for his help. Lily has been living at the Louis Armstrong Apartments, one of Harlem’s great buildings, while working on Obama’s campaign; now her Russian neighbor, Marianna Simonova, has died, and Lily fears she’s at fault and needs Artie’s Russian connections. Over a weekend when the city is locked in by snow and cold, with the financial markets tanking, one after another people at the Armstrong die. Artie, out of his element, a white detective in a black world, is drawn inexorably into the realm of Sugar Hill and the Armstrong, where almost everybody except for the real estate developers seems locked in the past.
Working to solve the murders, Artie tries desperately to win Lily back. Blood Count is a murder mystery, a love story, and a tale about New York, race, real estate, money, and music, with an ending one could never predict.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 2008年12月中旬,巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama )大选胜利,整个纽约都沸腾了,尤其是黑人居住区。几周以后的某个寒夜,亚帝•可亨(Artie Cohen)侦探接到了前女友莉莉•汉恩斯(Lily Hanes)的求救电话-她的俄国邻居死了。莉莉住在黑人区,为奥巴马的宣传人员,她害怕此事跟自己有关,所以请来了亚帝。这座城市已被积雪和寒冷封锁一个多星期,金融市场雪藏,而阿姆斯壮的人接二连三死去。亚帝作为白人侦探,卷入了一个锁在过去的黑人世界。亚帝一边破案,一边赢回莉莉的心,所以这既是一部谋杀案,也是爱情小说,一个关于纽约、种族、房地产、金钱、音乐的故事,结局扑朔迷离。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
