HIT AND RUN

Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B44424

English Summary/英文概要： You’re driving. You’re wasted. You hit someone. What do you do?

Billy Blackmore just landed his first job as a trainee crime reporter for the local Edinburgh paper. Driving home from a party with his girlfriend and brother, all of them drunk and high on stolen pills, they hit someone. In a panic, they drive off.

But trouble hunts them down. Billy has to cover the incident for the paper. Turns out the dead man was Edinburgh’s biggest crime lord. As Billy struggles with what he’s done, he’s sucked into a nightmare of guilt, retribution and violence. He gets involved with the dead man’s widow and psychotic brother, and becomes embroiled in a feud with a rival crime gang just as the police investigation tightens a noose around his neck.

From the author of the highly acclaimed Smokeheads, Hit and Run is another pitch-black psychological thriller, and a dizzying portrait of a young man in freefall.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你正在开车，你心不在焉，忽然之间，你撞人了。你该怎么办？

比利刚刚开始他的第一份工作，爱丁堡地方报的一名见习犯罪记者。那天，他们从一个聚会上开车回来，车上坐着他哥哥和他女朋友。他们都喝醉了，并且都对刚偷到手的药丸非常兴奋，然后不幸的是，他们撞了人，惊慌之余，他们肇事逃逸了。

然后麻烦还是找上了他们，虽然比利已经将整件事的报道压住。事故的死者是爱丁堡最大的犯罪头领，比利的所作所为令他陷入了罪恶、惩戒、暴力的梦魇。他介入了死者的遗孀与他的精神病兄弟之间，并渐渐被卷入了与犯罪团伙的长期斗争之中，恰如警察的调查就像绳子一样紧紧缠绕在他脖子上。

从作者被高度赞扬的小说《烟头》中可以看出，本书是另一种类型的心理惊悚片，展现在我们眼前的是令人眼花缭乱的男主角陷入崩溃的无力场景。(兼职翻译-YZH)
