THE DEAD SHALL NOT REST

Book ID/图书代码: 14780012B59210

English Summary/英文概要: It is not just the living who are prey to London’s criminals and cutpurses. Corpses, too, are fair game - dug up from fresh graves and sold to men of science for dissection. Dr. Thomas Silkstone’s unscrupulous rival, Dr. John Hunter, has learned of the imminent death of eight-foot-tall Charles Byrne, known as the "Irish Giant," and is obsessed with obtaining the body for his research. When Dr. Hunter is implicated in the horrific murder of a young castrato, Thomas must determine how far the increasingly erratic surgeon will go in the name of knowledge. For as Thomas knows, the blackest hearts sometimes go undetected until it’s too late...

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 有着和风靡一时克莱•卡尔的畅销小说“沉默的天使”风味的系列探案故事集,托马斯•西尔克斯通博士携着犯罪现场调查模式的抽丝剥茧,结合18世纪的维多利亚时期的历史背景,向您上演了一幕幕惊人的内幕。
哈里斯2012年发表的《解剖学家的学徒》的续集,讲述了1782年伦敦由盗尸所引发的一场盛行瘟疫。特别是,肆无忌惮的解剖学家开始觊觎有着“爱尔兰巨人”之称的,身高有着八英尺高的查尔斯•伯恩的尸体时,这场在英国牛津郡,在故事主人公托马斯•西尔克斯通博士家乡附近举办的年度春季博览会上展出的尸体,同时也吸引了托马斯爱人莉迪亚•法雷尔女士的眼球。当莉迪亚说服西尔克斯通去查验伯恩的尸体,而作为法医最后得出的结论是,“我们的巨人可能刚死去不久。“与此同时,在伦敦,西尔克斯通开始相信这具展示的尸体有可能是一个被无辜窒息致死的卡佩里先生,这是一位喉结被做过后期手术摘除的,被阉割过的男歌手。丰满的故事人物,设计巧妙地隐藏证据,自信沉稳的散文叙述风格带读者,回到了那个处于变革时期的维多利亚十八世纪历史潮流中。(Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况:“Populated with real historical characters and admirably researched, Harris’s novel features a complex and engrossing plot….A touch of romance makes this sophomore outing(after The Anatomist’s Apprentice) even more enticing. Savvy readers will also recall Hilary Mantel’s The Giant, O’Brien.”--Library Journal

"Well-rounded characters, cleverly concealed evidence, and an assured prose style point to a long run for this historical series." Publishers Weekly, starred review

About the Author/作者介绍: 在牛津大学学习历史系之后,我在林肯郡自己的家乡劳斯郡,开始我的新闻报业生涯。随后我去伦敦发展了我的事业,成了一位女性杂志的编辑。从那时起我成为一家杂志社的专题作家。两年后我编辑区域艺术刊物问世出版。紧随之后的两年我成为了《赫里蒂奇》杂志的副主编。身为人母让我得以有了一段自由的时间,去给一些国家杂志,如《乡村房屋和内饰》,《好佳家》,《女性杂志》,以及诸如《泰晤士报》、《每日电讯报》和《卫报》撰写一些文摘。在此期间我还是一家纪录片制作公司的文学经纪人。2005年,我曾是伯克希尔哈撒韦公司《生活》杂志的编辑。
2000年我赢得了由伦敦电影编剧工作室举办的欧洲电影剧本写作竞赛,由此我所撰写的剧本被电影公司改编成剧本,搬上银幕。这个故事讲述的是在18世纪的伦敦,由于我后续的研究,诞生了这个故事的主角人物,一个美国的解剖学家和世界上第一个法医科学家,托马斯•西尔克斯通博士。
