English Summary/英文概要: Mo Hayder has for years been a master of chilling, seamlessly plotted thrillers that keep the reader glued to the page long after lights out, and fresh off of winning the Edgar Award for Best Novel for Gone, Hayder is at the top of her game. Her latest novel, Poppet, is Hayder at her most terrifying: it’s a gripping novel about the search for a dangerous mental patient on the loose.
Everything goes according to procedure when a patient, Isaac, is released into the community from a high-security mental health ward. But when the staff realizes that he was connected to a series of unexplained episodes of self harm among the ward’s patients, and furthermore that he was released in error, they call on Detective Jack Caffery to investigate, and to track Isaac down before he can kill again. Will the terrifying little effigies Isaac made explain the incidents around the ward, or provide the clue Caffery needs to predict what he’s got planned?.
Mo Hayder is renowned for conjuring nightmares that sink under the skin, and in Poppet she has delivered a taut, unbearably suspenseful novel that will not let readers go.

當一位名叫艾薩克的病人從一所戒備森嚴的精神病房回到普通病區時, 一切看似照常如舊。但當一位病房工作人員無意間發現他的迴歸,與病區內一系列原因不明的病人自殘事件有關時,方覺自己犯下了大錯。隨即他們向偵探傑克·卡弗蒂求助,希望他能在艾薩克再次行兇前找到他。而這個令人感覺不寒而慄的,一直被嘲弄的小人是否能解釋病區周圍發生的事件,或是向卡弗蒂透露自己下一步的計畫?
莫·海德因《生命》一書中對人物內心深處夢魘的細膩刻畫而聞名,而這部最新的力作《玩偶》將是一部更加讓讀者欲罷不能的,充滿著緊張懸疑的小說。(Sandy)
