The Glass Hotel

內容簡介

內容簡介 玟森原本在溫哥華島凱燁飯店擔任調酒師。她遇見阿凱提斯的晚上，有人在大廳玻璃牆上塗鴉：「你為何不吞下碎玻璃算了？」巨大的金融犯罪在曼哈頓進行著：阿凱提斯操作一場國際龐氏騙局，透過客戶帳戶轉移假想資金⋯當無數人生與財富隨著金融帝國殞滅，長期假扮阿凱提斯妻子的玟森，身影沒入黑夜之中⋯多年後，一名騙局受害者受雇調查這起失蹤案⋯ Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass and cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it’s the beginning of their life together. That same day, Vincent’s half-brother, Paul, scrawls a note on the windowed wall of the hotel: "Why don’t you swallow broken glass." Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship. Weaving together the lives of these characters, The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the wilderness of northern Vancouver Island, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
