BLOOD WORK

Book ID/图书代码: 10820004B07756

English Summary/英文概要: The biggest, fastest, most compelling novel yet by the phenomenally bestselling author of The Poet and Trunk Music. Thanks to a heart transplant, former FBI agent Terril McCaleb is enjoying a quiet retirement. But when a story in the "What Happened To?" column of the L.A. "Times" brings him face-to-face with the sister of the woman whose heart now beats in his chest, McCaleb soon learns a terrible truth: the donor was not killed in an accident as he had been told; she was murdered.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 特里·麦卡莱布(Terry McCaleb)是美国联邦调查局历史上最有效的连环杀手调查人员之一,他正在追捕杀害他心脏捐赠者的凶手。退役FBI警官特雷尔.布凯莱布拥有奇特的血型,经过两年的等待,他终于获得了心脏移植的机会,并且在父亲留给他的“顺浪号”船上过着宁静的生活。然而,一个陌生女子的来访改变了一切,她告诉布凯莱布,他移植的心脏来自自己被害的妹妹。。。。。。

Awards/获奖情况:Connelly follows up Trunk Music with a tautly paced, seductively involving thriller about a murder that is less random than it seems. Ex-FBI agent Terry McCaleb is recuperating from a heart transplant when beautiful Graciela Rivers walks up to his San Pedro houseboat, tells him that the donor of his new heart, her sister Gloria, was murdered in a convenience-store robbery and asks him to find the killer. Although his doctor warns him against it, McCaleb can’t resist the case (any more than he could resist the serial-murder cases that caused his heart attack in the first place). With no license and little cooperation from the police, McCaleb reviews the evidence and connects a second murder to Gloria’s killer. But it’s only when he discovers that souvenirs have been taken from the victims that McCaleb realizes he is dealing with a type of killer with which he is all too familiar. Even working with seemingly shopworn material, Connelly produces fresh twists and turns, and, as usual, packs his plot with believable, logical surprises. He adds a moral twist by establishing a frightening bond between the hunter and the hunted, intimately connecting his detective to the criminal’s guilt. Fans of Connelly’s Harry Bosch novels will feel right at home with this beautifully constructed, powerfully resonating thriller, and newcomers will see right away what all the fuss has been about.
