CRITICAL MASS

Book ID/图书代码： 03880013B61561

English Summary/英文概要： V.I. Warshawski’s closest friend in Chicago is the Viennese-born doctor Lotty Herschel, who lost most of her family in the Holocaust. Lotty escaped to London in 1939 on the Kindertransport with a childhood playmate, Kitty Saginor Binder. When Kitty’s daughter finds her life is in danger, she calls Lotty, who, in turn, summons V.I. to help. The daughter’s troubles turn out to be just the tip of an iceberg of lies, secrets, and silence, whose origins go back to the mad competition among America, Germany, Japan and England to develop the first atomic bomb. The secrets are old, but the people who continue to guard them today will not let go of them without a fight.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 罗蒂•赫谢尔是V.I. 沃莎斯基在芝加哥的密友。作为一名维也纳籍医生，在二战的浩劫中，罗蒂失去了所有的家人。1939年，她与儿时玩伴基蒂•萨吉诺•宾德在儿童转移计划的帮助下逃到了伦敦。因此，当基蒂的女儿发现自己面临着生命危险时，她不由得向罗蒂寻求帮助，而罗蒂则召唤V•I前来帮助自己。事实证明基蒂女儿的麻烦只不过是一切谎言、秘密以及静谧表象的冰山一角，而这一切都要追溯到先人们疯狂的军备竞争---美国、德国、日本以及英国争相研制出第一颗原子弹。虽然这一秘密早已存在，然而今天守卫着它的人似乎并不愿意轻易让一切烟消云散。。。。。。（DC）

Awards/获奖情况：Yesterday, July 20, the London Sunday Times released a list of the SUNDAY TIMES 50 BEST THRILLERS AND CRIME NOVELS OF THE PAST 5 YEARS. One title selected was CRITICAL MASS by Sara Paretsky.

The Sunday Times had this to say about the book: Sara Paretsky’s Critical Mass is rooted in this history. It plunges her private eye, VI Warshawski, into an unfamiliar world of cutting-edge physics, slave labour and the Holocaust.… The result is a daring departure for Paretsky, combining her interests in women’s history, science and the Holocaust – and is a career-crowning triumph.
