內容簡介 Netflix 影集《難,置信》【真實性侵案改編】她是性侵受害者,選擇勇敢報案,卻被警方一狀告上法庭……★榮獲2016年普立茲新聞獎、波克新聞獎★入圍2018年英國犯罪作家協會非文學匕首獎決選★入選《Stylist》2018年度必讀書單★Netflix改編影集《難,置信》全球熱播!「此報導檢視並揭露長久以來執法部門對強暴案調查之失敗,以及對受害者創傷之不理解等令人震驚的真相。」──普利茲新聞奨讚詞十八歲的瑪莉向警方通報被陌生人性侵,卻飽受質疑。因為她的語氣像在演戲,感覺只是想獲得關注;她的說詞矛盾反覆,肢體語言和反應都不像是無辜被害人。最重要的是她改口了──「沒有。我沒有被強暴。」瑪莉被以「謊報」罪名控告,淪為社會唾棄的說謊者。二〇〇八年到二〇一〇年,美國華盛頓州和科羅拉多州發生連續強暴案。兩地警方對待強暴受害者的態度及查案作為截然不同──華盛頓州的林伍德警局把強暴受害者瑪莉當成「謊報」的騙子,將她告上法庭;但在另一頭,科羅拉多州的兩名優秀女警蓋博瑞斯和韓德蕭,則奮力自不同地區的連續強暴案中尋找蛛絲馬跡,追捕強暴犯。兩地事件起初看似無關,但直到整合鑑識線索,才揭露這些強暴案竟是同一人所為……本書的兩位作者皆為獨立媒體資深記者,他們在二〇一五年開始共同調查這樁連續強暴案,發表〈難以置信的強暴案〉(An Unbelievable Story of Rape)報導,榮獲二〇一六年普立茲新聞獎、波克新聞獎。以此報導為基礎,米勒和阿姆斯壯更深入採訪事件相關人士,查閱美國性侵案件數據資料,增加側寫強暴犯以及合力逮捕他的執法人員之篇章,寫成此書。書中詳盡描述犯罪現場細節,但未過度渲染,也未對受害者外貌和經歷進行主觀評判。他們逐步揭露關於瑪莉「謊報案」的錯誤質疑與謊言,以及美國司法長期對強暴案抱持歧見的歷史根源,企圖打破社會刻板印象的「完美受害者」迷思。本中文書介出自《謊報: 一樁性侵案謊言背後的真相 (Netflix影集 難,置信 真實事件)》馬可孛羅文化事業股份有限公司出版"
