BLOOD ON THE ALTAR
Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B44320
English Summary/英文概要： One Sunday morning in 1993 a 16-year-old girl named Eliza Claps goes missing from a church in the centre of Potenza, Italy. Shortly before her disappearance, Elisa had met Danilo Restivo, a strange local boy with a fetish for cutting women’s hair on the back of buses. Elisa’s family are convinced that Resitvo is responsible for their daughter’s disappearance, but he is protected by local big-wigs: by his Sicilian father, by a doctor with links to organised crime, by a priest who had vices of his own. Years went by and Elisa’s family could find only false leads. 2002, and Restivo is now living in Bournemouth. In November that year, his neighbour is found murdered, with strands of her own hair in her hands. Once again the police are at a loss to pin anything on him. It’s not until 2010, when Elisa’s decomposed body is found in the church where she went missing, that the two cases are linked and Restivo is finally dealt with. Blood on the Altar combines a gripping true crime case with Jones’s deep understanding of Italian culture - the impunity it offers to the powerful - he so expertly demonstrated in his bestseller: The Dark Heart of Italy.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1933年的一个星期日早上，一个名叫Eliza Claps的16岁少女在意大利波坦察中心的一所教堂失踪。就在她失踪不久前，Eliza曾经遇到过Danilo Restivo，当地一个奇怪的男孩，有躲在车厢后部剪去女人头发的怪癖。Elisa的家人确定Resitvo与他们女儿的失踪有关联，但他却受到许多当地权贵的保护，他父亲是西西里人，还有与有组织犯罪有关联的医生，一个自己都有满身罪恶的神父。许多年过去了，Elisa的家人获得的始终都是一些假线索。2002年时，Restivo居住在伯恩茅斯。在这年的11月，他的邻居遭谋杀，被发现时手中有几缕她自己的头发。可再一次，警方没有找到任何可以将Restivo定罪的证据。直到2010年，Elisa腐烂的尸体在她失踪的教堂被找到，两起案件被联系到一起，Restivo终于被绳之以法。《血染圣坛》融合了一起扣人心弦的真实案件和Jones对意大利文化的深入思考——因有权而无罪，Jones将其熟练地展现在他的畅销书《意大利黑暗中心》一书中。(兼职翻译-XAT)
