DEEP SHELTER
Book ID/图书代码： 05380012B58608
English Summary/英文概要： How extensive are London’s secret tunnels? Where do they lead?
It’s Detective Nick Belsey’s summer of trying to behave, and London has decided to go lawless. A stolen vehicle is abandoned, mid-riot, in the shadows of Centrepoint, leading to the discovery of a homeless man bludgeoned to death in his hostel. It seems at first just the nasty edge of a general breakdown, but it leads into the secrets of another age.
Under the cover of chaos someone’s been doing historical research, visiting ’Deep Shelters’, still littered with the remains of 1980s exercises in apocalypse. The trail leads Belsey to a home papered floor to ceiling with photographs of cold-war architecture, maps of underground tunnels, declassified designs. It’s soon made clear that his own curiosity is unwanted. He is happy to let state secrets lie. Until it becomes personal.
With the police force stretched to nothing, Belsey embarks on a chase through a London on edge deep into the strange, paranoid world of JIGSAW, the government’s Joint Inter-Services Group for the Study of All-Out Warfare: the Doomsday Department, as it was known. And finally to the core of its secrets.
Deep Shelter is the spectacular second outing for Detective Nick Belsey - a voyage into London’s murky underworld, above and below ground.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 伦敦秘密的地道究竟延伸了多长？它们又伸向何处?
又到了探长尼克•贝尔西维持治安的夏天，而伦敦城似乎也决定好好的无法无天一回。一辆被偷的车辆被人遗弃在中间点大楼的阴影中，指引着人们在一间小招待所中发现了一名被木棍击打而亡的无家可归的男子的尸体。看似一场被木棍砸中的意外事故，然而却实则与另一个年代的秘密息息相关。
有人正乘着混乱的世道进行着秘密的历史研究，他重访了“隐蔽所”，发现那里仍旧满地散落着20世纪80年代时所作的预言的残余手稿。条条线索无不指引着贝尔西来到了一座堆满了关于冷战时期建筑物照片、地下通道的地图以及未加密设计图纸的房间中。很快他便发现自己的担忧实则多余，有关于国家的秘密依然静静地存放在那里，直到它成为私人所有物。
对贝尔西而言，这是伦敦警力所无法到达的地方，因此他亲自踏上了一场追寻之旅，他穿越伦敦地底的边缘地带，来到奇特而充满着狂想的错综世界，政府间的内部服务小组正对那一场倾其全力的战争进行着研究：命名其为“末日部门”。最终贝尔西来到了一切秘密的核心地带。
《隐蔽所》是尼克•贝尔西探长系列精彩的第二部---是一场有关于伦敦阴暗底层社会的全面之旅。（DC）
