THE SUPERMAN PROJECT
Book ID/图书代码： 02650510B41140
English Summary/英文概要： After a series of low-paying jobs, Chico Santana, PI, is living in his tiny office on 149th Street in the Bronx. He’s in an absolutely foul mood when Pablo Sanchez and his mother drop in, seeking help for one of Chico’s old childhood pals----the handsome and charismatic Joey Ventura. Chico has not seen Joey since Joey disappeared from St. Mary’s Home for Boys, headed for Tahiti. He ended up, instead, on the island of TSP---The Superman Project.
The Superman Project peddles German philosophy, Hinduism, and American comic book mythology as a method toward self-improvement, but its members are hiding more than a few secrets. The leader of TSP is a man named Father Ravi. One of his daughters, Gabby, who is also Joey’s wife, is missing. Joey was accused by the TSP leaders of killing Gabby and has fled the police. Pablo and his mother insist he is innocent.
Compelled to believe in his old friend, and by the promised payment of a very valuable Superman comic, Chico investigates the competing interests in the organization, falling for a beautiful suspect and trying to look out for a friend’s troubled niece in the process.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 奇科•桑塔纳（Chico Santana）住在布朗克斯149号大街一间不能再小的办公室里，干的都是廉价的工作。当帕布罗（Pablo）带着母亲来访，为奇科的儿时旧友乔伊（Joey）寻求帮助，他简直不敢相信。那个英俊潇洒的乔伊？自从乔伊去了塔西提岛，他就再没见过他了。事实上，乔伊真正去的是超人计划岛。 这个超人计划宣扬的是以德国哲学、印度主义以及美国漫画神话等作为自我改善的方法，但是它的成员不团结。超人计划的领导者是拉维（Ravi）神父。他的女儿也就是乔伊的妻子失踪了。乔伊被控杀妻逃亡。但是帕布罗和他的母亲相信他是无辜的。
由于相信旧友以及一笔可观的酬劳，奇科开始调查整个组织。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
