THE LONG COUNT: A JOHN Q MYSTERY

Book ID/图书代码: 04560014B73729

English Summary/英文概要: For fans of James Lee Burke, Mo Hayder, Gillian Flynn and True Detective, JM Gulvin introduces a memorable new series character and a stunning, twisting tale.

Marion County, 1967: a Texas Ranger, a burnt out asylum, a soldier back from Vietnam and his missing twin brother.

Single father, veteran and Ranger, John Quarrie is called to the scene of an apparent suicide by a fellow war veteran. The local police want the case shut down; John Q is convinced that events aren’t quite so straightforward.

When his theory is backed up by the son of the dead man, Isaac – just back from Vietnam and convinced his father was murdered – they start to look into a series of other violent incidents in the area, including a recent fire at the local Trinity Asylum and the subsequent disappearance of Isaac’s twin brother, Ishmael.

Are the incidents all linked? Is Isaac telling the whole truth about his brother? In a desperate race against time, John Q has to try and unravel the dark secrets at the heart of the family and get to the truth before the count is up.

Dripping with atmosphere and a stunning sense of place, this is a page-turner and a psychological puzzle to rival Shutter Island.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 对于James Lee Burke, Mo Hayder, Gillian Flynn和《真实侦探》的粉丝来说,JM Gulvin引入了一个令人难忘的新系列角色和一个惊人的、扭曲的故事。

Marion County, 1967: 一个德州护林员,一个烧毁的庇护,一个从越南回来的士兵和他失踪了的双胞胎弟弟。

单亲爸爸,退伍军人和护林员,John Quarrie 被一个同行的退伍军人叫到一个明显的自杀现场。当地警方希望这个案件就此结束;John Q相信这个事件并没有这么简单。

当他的推理被死者的儿子Isaac所支持之时——Isaac,从越南刚刚复出并确信他的父亲已经遇害——他们开始在该地区寻找一系列的暴力事件,包括当地的三重庇护起火事件和随之而来的Isaac的孪生兄弟Ishmael的失踪。

这些事件都是相互关联的?Isaac是不是讲了关于他兄弟的全部真相?在一场与时间的绝望比赛中,John Q不得不尝试揭开家庭中心的黑暗秘密并在倒数之前获得真相。

从气氛中剥离和令人惊叹的地方,这是一个引人入胜的和心理上的困惑与禁闭岛。(LNL)
