布娃娃殺手

內容簡介

內容簡介 ◎英國Trapeze出版社48小時內用六位數英鎊簽下的超級新人◎32國版權售出，處女作隨即攻占英國《週日泰晤士報》、德國《明鏡周刊》、荷蘭暢銷榜前十名，英美亞馬遜網站四星評價◎2017英國犯罪小說作家協會約翰．克雷西新血匕首獎決選入圍作一具屍體，六名被害者。凶手寄給媒體一張清單，預告下一次犯罪的「材料」。沒有人比警探沃夫更想逮到這位布娃娃殺手，因為他是名單上的最後一人。綽號「沃夫」的警探威廉．佛克斯是個令長官頭痛的麻煩人物，情緒管理不佳的他曾在法庭上出拳毆打無罪釋放的被告，只因沃夫強烈認定對方百分之百是殺人凶手、全靠辯護律師對自己的栽贓抹黑才得以脫身。重回警界的沃夫這次得好好收斂脾氣，擔任保護「預告中的被害者」工作──這一切，得從幾天前聲名大噪的「布娃娃殺手」所犯下的凶行說起。老舊公寓的挑高房間裡懸吊著一具屍體，卻是由六名被害人的部分身軀縫綴而成，消息一出立刻引發廣泛的討論與恐慌：這六名死者是誰？凶手為何要做出如此殘暴異常的行為？此時，新聞臺記者收到一封來信，裡頭夾有命案現場照和一份列有六個姓名的清單，每個名字後面都標註了日期，顯然是凶手的犯罪預告：這六個人將會是犯人製作下一具「布娃娃」的材料，而第一位受害者的死亡截止時間只剩不到二十四小時──這個人竟是大名鼎鼎的倫敦市長！即使用盡各種周延的保護方式，倫敦警方仍阻擋不了凶手惡魔般的精巧殺戮，甚至懷疑是否有內應相助。這是一場宛如貓捉老鼠的死亡遊戲，眼見清單上的活人愈來愈少，名列最後一人的警探沃夫的處境也愈來愈艱困，逼迫他的不只是上級給予的壓力與攸關性命的危機，還包括了他得正面迎擊的黑暗記憶……本中文書介出自《布娃娃殺手》馬可孛羅文化事業股份有限公司出版FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR – SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES‘Superb thriller writing.’ Peter Robinson‘A brilliant, breathless thriller’ M.J.
