English Summary/英文概要: What if you found yourself divorced and penniless? With no skills and a teenage daughter to support? What if the only way to survive was to do things you never thought possible, to go places you never knew existed …These are questions Sally has never really thought about before. Married to a successful business man, she’s always been a bit of a dreamer. Until now.
Her sister Zoe is her polar opposite. A detective inspector working out of Bath Central, she loves her job, and oozes self-confidence. No one would guess that she hides a crippling secret that dates back twenty years, and which – if exposed – may destroy her.
Then Sally’s daughter gets into difficulties, and Sally finds she needs cash – lots of it – fast. With no one to help her, she is forced into a criminal world of extreme pornography and illegal drugs; a world in which teenage girls can go missing.
Two sisters intent on survival. Until one does something so terrifying that there’s no way back …
Chinese Summary/中文概要: “一位作家能做的最佳的事情就是讓讀者全身心地浸沒在一個全新的奇特世界中。莫·海德(Mo Hayder)做得恰如其縫”。 -邁克爾·康奈利(Michael Connelly)
英國,風景如畫的巴斯的一個早餐,一位年僅十幾歲的女孩屍體在運河的牽道內被找到:羅恩·伍茲,美麗,受大夥喜愛,顯然這是一起殘酷謀殺案的受害者。為什麼她大晚上的會獨自橫臥在運河的牽道內?佐伊·本尼迪克特(Zoe Benedict),英國的騎警,說服自己的部門主管,提出考慮到這起案件的背後非常動機,需要親自前往偵破此案。同時,佐伊的姐妹,最近剛剛離婚的莎莉,面臨著可怕的財政危機,她曾支持自己女兒和她的朋友,也就是死者,迅速融入到一位看似古怪但有些危險的富有企業家擔任管家一職的角色中。當對佐伊的調查發生轉折時,羅恩曾試圖闖入的攝像頭內那些女孩們所從事的業餘色情世界證據,將使佐伊曾經的秘密似乎無處遁形。(Sandy)
