LOW PRESSURE: A NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 08525012B55586

English Summary/英文概要： Bellamy Lyston Price was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy’s fear of storms is a legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene as well as her memory of one vital fact that still eludes her . . .

Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a novel based on Susan’s murder. It’s her first book, and it’s an instant sensation. But because the novel is based on the most traumatic event of her life, she’s published it under a pseudonym to protect herself and her family.

But when a sleazy reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on a real crime, Bellamy’s identity -- and dark family secrets -- are exposed. Suddenly, she finds herself embroiled in a personal conflict and at the mercy of her sister’s killer, who for almost two decades has gotten away with murder . . . and will stop at nothing to keep it that way.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在(Bellamy Lyston)貝拉米•利斯頓只有12歲大的時候，她的長姐蘇珊在美國陣亡將士紀念日當天的暴風雨夜被謀殺了。由此，貝拉米對於颶風暴殘留的天性恐懼，摧毀了犯罪現場和她對當日案發現場的重要片段記憶。
十八年後的今天，貝拉米根據蘇珊謀殺案，撰寫了一部轟動一時的暢銷小說。鑒於這本小說的創作靈感來自，家人的痛苦悲傷事件，為了避免家人遭受媒體不必要的襲擾，她在發表作品前使用了筆名。但當一個投機小報記者發現了這本書背後的真實事件時，貝拉米的身份以及這件家庭悲劇案也一同被隨之曝光。
貝拉米還因此成為了一位不願透露姓名攻擊者的目標，此人要麼也同樣對蘇珊謀殺案的真相一無所知，要麼就是因此案受到不公指控和判刑，而決心要報復的一位，以此而威脅聲音的男人。
為了追查她的這位無名氏跟蹤者，貝拉米必須面對過去命案中的這個幽靈，包括丹特•卡特，蘇珊任性而魯莽的男友 — 連同兇案的一個最初嫌疑人。丹特，這個曾經抹不去的名字，曾一度塵封在貝利米的記憶中。但她的這段自我保護記憶被再次開啟時，她和家人將再度置身於這場無法預見的危險之中。
隨著貝拉米更深入地調查蘇珊謀殺案周圍的神秘疑團時，她發現最令人不安的犯罪因素竟指向她曾經身邊最摯愛的人。揮之不去的可怕記憶片段，對丹特情感的困擾，讓最終她下定決心要去瞭解事件真相，直到揭露出殺害蘇珊的真正兇手。(Sandy)

In this breathless romantic thriller from bestseller Brown (Lethal), Bellamy Price hopes that her debut novel, the pseudonymous Low Pressure, will be therapeutic. Instead, Low Pressure reopens many old wounds in Austin, Tex., after Bellamy’s identity becomes known, and the public learns the novel is based on the murder of her sister, Susan, 18 years before. Among those most upset is pilot Denton Carter, Susan’s one-time boyfriend and a prime suspect until his alibi proved convincing. Another is Ray Strickland, the brother of the man convicted of the crime and later killed in prison. When both Bellamy and Denton are targeted in attacks, digging further into Susan’s murder becomes imperative for both. As they re-examine the unsavory roles played by officials involved in the case, Bellamy must face new truths about Susan and other members of her family. Sexual tension fueled by mistrust between brash Denton and shy Bellamy smolders and sparks in teasing fashion throughout. Agent: Maria Carvainis, the Maria Carvainis Agency. (Sept.)
