THE WHITE SEA: A CONTEMPORARY THRILLER SET IN GREECE STARRING PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR ALEX MAVROS
Book ID/图书代码： 08136014B74362
English Summary/英文概要： Alex Mavros enters a chilling world of power and corruption when he investigates the kidnapping of a wealthy Greek ship-owner.
Wealthy ship-owner Kostas Gatsos has been missing for several weeks, having been snatched from his luxury villa on the idyllic island of Lesvos. Curiously, there has been no ransom demand. When the police investigation stalls, the desperate Gatsos family turn to private investigator Alex Mavros for help.
Inherently suspicious of the super-rich and initially reluctant to take on the case, Mavros finds himself dealing with a highly dysfunctional family with more than a few skeletons in its closet, a family whose tentacles have a surprisingly wide reach. Alex believes the key to the mystery lies in the ship-owner’s shady past and sinister business deals – but the truth behind the kidnapping is more disturbing, and closer to home, than Mavros could ever have imagined.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当艾利克斯•马弗洛斯调查一名富裕的希腊船主的绑架案件时，他发现自己踏入了一个令人不寒而栗的可怕世界，那里既有权势也充满着腐化与堕落。
从富裕的船主科斯塔斯•加特索在自己位于乐斯沃斯小岛的豪华游艇上遭遇绑架，已经过去了数周时间，奇怪的是并没有任何人收到过关于赎金的消息。当警察们的调查停滞不前时，焦急绝望的加特索的家人们决定向私家侦探艾利克斯•马弗洛斯寻求帮助。
这个超级富裕的家庭在案件发生之初时的犹豫不决实在是十分可疑，马弗洛斯很快就发现自己面对的是一个极度失衡、濒临破碎的家庭，其背后的可怕问题绝非一点，甚至在这家的壁橱里还有数具尸骨，而其影响力也已惊奇地伸到了极远的地方。艾利克斯坚信揭穿这些神秘谎言的关键在于船主本人黑暗的过去以及他所从事的邪恶的商业交易----然而最终绑架的真相则令人更为困扰，并且甚至比马弗洛斯本人所想象的还要更加接近身边。（DC）
