State of Terror

內容簡介

內容簡介 恐怖攻擊、核武威脅、外交失利、媒體輿論、塔利班政府、蓋達組織、阿富汗撤軍……國務卿艾倫自上任以來，無時不處於戰慄狀態。她在白宮和霧谷的權謀角力之間、在國際恐攻的威脅逼進之下，究竟該如何突圍，遏止一場殃及千萬人的巨大災難？ 新政府上位，剛就任的國務卿艾倫．亞當斯，結束出訪韓國的外交行程才下飛機，還來不及整理衣容便趕赴國會參與會議。以為能風光完成任務，卻敗得灰頭土臉返國，成了一眾官員譏笑的對象。她尚不知這般狼狽的局面，竟是現任總統道格拉斯．威廉斯欲擊垮自己而精心策畫的布局。 大西洋的另一端，英國倫敦和法國巴黎接連發生炸彈攻擊事件，造成慘重傷亡。犯案者既無表明身分也無具體訴求，恐怕意味著這幾起慘不忍睹的爆炸案只是一份警告，還有更嚴重的攻擊等在後頭，影響範圍甚至將從歐洲擴及到美國疆土。 正當華府與全世界為爆炸案而人心惶惶時，國務院內一名青年外交官安娜依妲．達希爾收到一則來源不明的手機訊息。上面只有一連串看似毫無意義的數字和符號，當中是否隱藏著重要情資？ 同一時間，巴基斯坦境內正展開一場激烈的追殺，死裡逃生的納思琳．布喀里博士才剛擺脫槍彈的威脅，飛抵德國法蘭克福，身後竟又悄悄多了一名跟蹤者。他究竟是誰？和爆炸案有何關聯？對於即將引爆的國際危機，這號人物有什麼關鍵至極的影響？ 在重重疑雲及挑戰之中，新上任的國務卿將召集女兒、青年外交官、摯友顧問，一同迎戰反擊。她們是否能成功突破重圍、揭開極端份子的陰謀，合力阻止一場或恐造成千萬死傷的災厄發生？ ▍ 美國前國務卿希拉蕊，聯手阿嘉莎獎得主露意絲，構思執筆一精彩絕倫政治驚悚小說劇情緊湊，戰爭即將爆發！政治角力，明爭暗諷；躍然於紙上的美劇！對白真實又有趣，宛如白宮縮影。 在現實世界中，她是美國第六十七任國務卿、第一夫人；在小說世界裏，主角是一名剛上任的女性國務卿。露意絲．佩妮是加拿大籍暢銷作家，曾八度獲阿嘉莎推理小說獎，為該獎項至今得獎最多次的得主，被譽為「克莉絲蒂接班人」。兩位重量級人物首度聯手，揉合擔任國家要職任內時的真實經驗、噩夢情境，精心刻畫出懸疑驚悚的故事情節，描寫調查跨國恐攻案件、華府高層政治角力中不為人知的內幕。本中文書介出自《恐懼境界》遠流出版事業股份有限公司出版A Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller!‘A rip-roaring, brilliant page-turner, but it’s also timely, cheeky, important and wonderfully, courageously provocative.
