A SIEGE OF BITTERNS: A BIRDER MURDER MYSTERY
Book ID/图书代码： 04003014B70562
English Summary/英文概要： Inspector Domenic Jejeune’s success has made him a poster boy for the U.K. police service. The problem is Jejeune doesn’t really want to be a detective at all; he much prefers watching birds.
Recently reassigned to the small Norfolk town of Saltmarsh, located in the heart of Britain’s premier birding country, Jejeune’s two worlds collide when he investigates the grisly murder of a prominent ecological activist. His ambitious police superintendent foresees a blaze of welcome publicity, but she begins to have her doubts when Jejeune’s most promising theory involves a feud over birdwatching lists. A second murder only complicates matters.
To unravel this mystery, Jejeune must deal with unwelcome public acclaim, the mistrust of colleagues, and his own insecurities. In the case of the Saltmarsh birder murders, the victims may not be the only casualties.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 督察员多米尼克•朱诸那的成功让他成为了英国警局执法服务的完美榜样。然而问题是，朱诸那一点也不想成为探长，如果要他选择，他宁愿去观察鸟儿们。
最近，朱诸那被分配到了位于盐沼地区的诺福克小镇，这是一座坐落于英国前鸟类聚居地的中心地带的一个小镇，因此当朱诸那展开对当地一名声名卓著的生态活动家遇害案件的调查时，他的两个世界产生了交集。他极具事业心的督察官从中看到了来自民众们的阵阵热烈欢迎，然而，当她发现朱诸那最有前途的理论竟然和一长串的鸟类观察名单息息相关时，她也不禁产生怀疑。直到第二场谋杀案的发生让一切愈加复杂起来。
为了解开谜团，朱诸那不得不应对来自公众们的申明、来自同事们的不信任以及他自己内心的不安。或许，在盐沼鸟凶杀案中，受害者远非实际所见的那些伤亡。（DC）
