THE HOLLOW MAN(OLD TITLE: BELSEY BOTTOMS OUT)
Book ID/图书代码: 05380011B44908
English Summary/英文概要: Detective Nick Belsey is broke. Now it looks like he’s out of a job – something happened last night, something with the boss’s wife… At dawn, on what should be the last day of Belsey’s career, Hampstead CID is ghostly quiet. Belsey checks the overnight files. There’s a missing-person report. But this one’s different. It’s on the Bishops Avenue, London’s richest street. Belsey sees a scam, an escape route.
But he hasn’t got there first.
Furiously paced and thrillingly plotted, The Hollow Man is a black love letter to London’s shadow world. It marks the beginning of a seductive contemporary detective series, and the arrival of a future master of the genre.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 偵探推理系列小說 第一本 辦案做風是否符合道德標準,向來不是Belsey進行調查工作的最高準則…
Belsey深富個人魅力,但卻不是一般人想像中的典型「公僕警探」。
譬如說他對事情的看法自私刻薄,有時也會讓自己從中沾點好處,而且他本人並不信「英雄主義」這一套。
雖然在他身上找不到無私的成分,但他對「尋找真相」的執著與看待世界的獨特眼光,卻足以讓他成為倫敦歷來最優秀的探長之一。
故事一開始,Belsey在一輛被撞得破爛的警車中醒來,帶著宿醉、身上沒錢也沒電話,只有一個共濟會燭臺提醒他昨晚他人在哪,而昨晚發生的事情足以讓他丟掉飯碗…(KC)
