NO OTHER DARKNESS
Book ID/图书代码： 05430014B72601
English Summary/英文概要： Being the perfect family has become a deadly pastime
DI Marnie Rome knows the sinister secrets that families can hide. She’s still trying to uncover the truth of what drove her foster brother to murder her parents five years ago, and he’s equally determined to keep her in the dark. But this new case surprises even her. Surely the corpses of two small boys, lying under concrete in a London garden, should be claimed by someone – grieved by someone?
The skeletons are found by a couple fostering six children, in addition to their own two. One of the fostered children, Clancy, is a difficult, withdrawn fourteen year-old. Marnie can’t help seeing the shadow of her foster brother in Clancy; his fascination with the gruesome discovery in the garden seems unhealthy, to say the least.
Terry and Beth, his foster parents, are trying their hardest to help Clancy adjust to family life after years of abuse and neglect. Marnie doesn’t know if they’re wasting their time, but she suspects the family is in serious danger.
Then the discovery of a stash of drugs for the treatment of post-partum psychosis makes her look afresh at the relationships in the house. Nothing, she realises, is what it seems here. Not to mention the mystery of who is leaving little gifts for the dead boys. Gifts that lead her back to Stephen, her foster brother.
Is Marnie in danger of letting her own family’s horror blind her? One thing’s certain: when the couple’s birth children go missing, she knows she can’t waste any time finding them.
NO OTHER DARKNESS is a compelling journey to the toxic edge of society, a place where people fall between cracks and go unmissed, perhaps forever. A place where DI Marnie Rome fights to protect those in danger. Twisty, powerful and clever, Sarah Hilary delivers a stunning follow- up to SOMEONE ELSE’S SKIN.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 完美的家庭已经成为一个致命的消遣，DI•玛妮•罗马知道家庭可以隐藏不可告人的秘密。她仍然试图揭她那收养的兄弟五年前杀害她父母的真相，而且同样地，他在那个晚上决定让她活下来。但这个新情况让她惊喜。当然，两个小男孩的尸体躺在伦敦花园的混凝土下面，应该有人认领——应该有人悲痛吗？
骨架是由一对养育了六个子女的夫妇发现，其中只有两个是他们自己的孩子。其中一个领养的孩子克兰西是一个难相处，孤僻的十四岁男孩。玛妮忍不住寻找她的养兄克兰西的身影；他对花园里的可怕的发现的着迷似乎是不健康的，至少可以这样说。
他的养父母特里和贝丝都尽他们最大的努力来帮助克兰西在度过多年的家庭暴力和忽视后重新适应家庭生活。玛妮不知道他们是否在浪费时间，但她怀疑家庭正处于严重的危险中。
然后她发现了用于产后精神病治疗的藏匿毒品，这让她重新审视房子里的关系。她没有发现什么，但似乎又有些什么。更不用说给死去男孩小礼品的神秘人。礼物让她重新审视她的养兄弟史蒂芬。
玛妮会陷入自己家庭的恐怖让她被欺骗的危机吗？有一件事是肯定的：当夫妻刚出生的儿童失踪，她知道她不能浪费任何时间了，她要找到他们。
《没有其他黑暗》是一次踏上社会堕落边缘的引人注目的旅程，那里人们掉入裂缝和失踪，也许是永远。那里DI•玛妮•罗马努力保护那些处于危险中的东西。曲折，强大和充满智慧，莎拉•希拉里展示了继《其他人的皮肤》之后的令人瞩目的小说。(LNL)
