SIX BAD THINGS: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 01240004B09462
English Summary/英文概要: “This is a body-slam of a thriller, crammed to the brim with speed-dial action, scene-chewing dialogue and a throat-clutcher of a plot that hits every sharp curve at maximum speed. The characters are as real as a wanted poster and cover every angle of life you can imagine--from Russian gangsters and Mexican feds hungry for blood and busts to overmatched Border Patrol agents to businessmen who make the Enron gang look like Britannica salesmen. Toss in a pair of very memorable surfer dudes and you’re left with a smooth blend of the best of Elmore Leonard, George V. Higgins and Robert B. Parker. In other words, a fresh and exciting new voice walking the thriller beat. So, lay the bet down. Charlie Huston is a lock to hit the winner’s circle with this one.
“SIX BAD THINGS is one great book.”
--Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of SLEEPERS and PARADISE CITY
Chinese Summary/中文概要: CHARLIE HUSTON的那本顽皮处女作《逮个正着》刚刚问世,他的另一作品《六个坏家伙》就紧随其后。《六个坏家伙》是本紧张、残酷的犯罪惊悚小说,一个好人渴望回家,可是他的不良过去就是不放过他。
Hank Thompson开始情况好转了,在恬静的墨西哥海滩上拥有一座小屋,每天清晨可以在海边畅游,在沿海岸线几英里处,享受一顿美美的早餐,但是好景不长,这时来了位操着俄罗斯口音的背包旅行游客突然显身了,他开始对Hank的老底问长问短,而这恰恰是Hank不愿去触及的问题。接着背包人又提到了钱的事情…….还有他的父母双亲。这逼Hank做了一个重大的举动,因为没人会伤害他家人的。
Hank现在开始四处逃跑了,一面要避开墨西哥的联邦特工和俄罗斯的暴徒,偷偷从美国边境巡逻队的眼皮底下溜过,一面还要和尖刻的商人讨价还价,拼命要保全自己的性命,不要葬身于那两个口口声声说是Hank哥么、把冲浪当命的小混混。这样就有了这本激烈惊悚奇遇小说,故事里充斥着暴力、贪婪、感伤、痛苦、毒品、酒精、四处横飞的子弹,当然也不乏忠诚和爱情这样富有人情味的元素。
