THE DISTANCE
Book ID/图书代码: 05380012B53222
English Summary/英文概要: A blistering debut thriller that introduces the coolest heroine in contemporary suspense fiction
Charlotte Alton has put her old life behind her. The life where she bought and sold information, unearthing secrets buried too deep for anyone else to find, or fabricating new identities for people who need their histories erased.
But now she has been offered one more job. To get a hit-man into an experimental new prison and take out someone who according to the records isn’t there at all.
It’s impossible. A suicide mission. And quite possibly a set-up.
So why can’t she say no?
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 首度亮相便引起轰动的惊悚作品,读者在这部当代悬疑小说中将目睹一位超酷的女主角。
夏洛特•奥尔顿已经抛却了自己原来靠买卖信息为生,为他人去挖掘那些最为隐秘的秘密,或是帮那些需要为自己制作新身份的人而抹去过去历史的人的日子。
但现在她已经有了一份新的工作。就是将一位职业杀手送入一所实验性的新监狱,并从那里带出一个数据上根本不存在的人。
这是一项不可能完成的任务,而且这个自杀式的任务,极有可能暗藏杀机。
那么她为何不能婉拒这项任务?(Sandy)
