WALT

Book ID/图书代码： 06481014B69329

English Summary/英文概要： From critically acclaimed author Russell Wangersky, comes a dark, new psychological thriller.
At the heart of Russell Wangersky’s latest novel is Walt, a grocery store janitor, who collects the discarded shopping lists that customers leave behind or toss away without thought.
Almost invisible to the people who pass him every day, the grocery lists he collects --- written on everything from cancelled cheques to mortgage statements to office stationary --- give him a personal hold over those who both ignore him and unwittingly disclose facets of their lives to him.
In his fifties, abandoned, he says, by his now-missing wife Mary, Walt is pursued by police detectives unsatisfied with the answers he’s given about her disappearance.
When a new cold case squad is formed in St. John’s to look into Mary’s disappearance, detectives Dean Hill and Jim Scoville begin to realize that Walt may be involved in more than just his wife’s disappearance. Meanwhile, Walt has begun to insert himself directly into the lives of the people whose grocery notes he’s collected.
Set in modern-day Newfoundland, after reading Walt, you’ll be sure to never let your shopping list fall to the floor again.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 来自于饱受赞誉的最佳罗素•万奇斯凯的暗黑系全新心理惊悚力作。

在罗斯•万奇斯凯的这部最新作品中，其中心人物便是沃尔特，一名杂货店的看门人，收集着遭到顾客们遗弃或不假思索随手丢掉的购物清单。

对于每天从他身边经过的人们而言，沃尔特是近乎不存在的，而他每天所收集的购物清单---写在各种各样的日常纸张上，有作废的支票，贷款声明，还有办公文具---这些忽视他并且很不聪明地让自己生活的一面呈现在他面前的人们让他有了一笔不小的私人拥有财产。

当他50余岁时，一直处于被抛弃状态的他对于如今失踪的妻子玛丽给出的回答令警局的探长们总是不甚满意。

当一个新的悬案小组被成立以调查圣约翰地区玛丽的失踪案件时，探长迪恩•希尔和吉姆•斯考威尔开始意识到，或许沃尔特不仅与他的妻子的失踪案件有所关联。与此同时，沃尔特也开始越来越多地直接接入那些他曾收集了购物清单的人们的生活。

该故事背景设立在加拿大纽芬兰，阅完《沃尔特》，或许你就会确信自己再也不会让自己的购物清单掉落在地。(DC)
