書籍簡介

1945年2月，太平洋戰爭接近高潮。在夏威夷，美國海軍少尉山姆·德雷克在去一個新崗位的路上偶然遇到了他的夢中情人。瑪麗是一名音樂節目主持人，她的聲音在整個島嶼上都很有名，因為她播放的深夜爵士樂讓年輕的情人無法抗拒。在他可以跟蹤這個現代警報器回家之前，他們去檢查瑪麗的同事蘇-但可愛的年輕女士將永遠不會再旋轉另一張唱片。他們發現她被吊在一間浴室的窗戶外面，她的臉扭曲成一個丑陋的面具。警察說這是自殺，但山姆不太確定。很少有美麗的女人，甚至自殺者，愿意在死亡中變得如此可怕。他調查了蘇的過去，發現了另一具尸體——一個危險的陰謀，一直延伸到他汽車城的家。

In the last days of World War II, a sailor discovers a transcontinental conspiracy in this classic from "the greatest mystery novelist of his age" (John Connolly, author of Every Dead Thing).

It is February 1945, and the war in the Pacific is nearing its climax. In Hawaii on his way to a new post, US Navy ensign Sam Drake stumbles across the girl of his dreams. Mary is a disc jockey, with a voice that's famous across the islands for playing late-night jazz that no young lover can resist. Before he can follow this modern siren home, they go to check on Mary's coworker Sue-but that lovely young lady will never spin another record. They find her strung up and dangling outside the window of a bathroom, her face twisted into an ugly mask. The police call it suicide, but Sam is not so sure. Few beautiful women, even suicidal ones, are willing to be so hideous in death. Looking into Sue's past, he finds another corpse-and a dangerous conspiracy that stretches all the way back to his Motor City home.

作者簡介

羅斯·麥克唐納原名肯尼斯·米勒（Kenneth Millar），偵探小說家。生于加州，在加拿大長大、讀大學、教書（他是個高學歷作家，擁有文學博士學位）、結婚（老婆是偵探小說家瑪格麗特·米勒）。他在加拿大寫下他生平第一本偵探小說《The Dark Tunnel》（1944）。

Ross Macdonald was a pseudonym for Kenneth Millar (1915-1983), an author of detective fiction best known for creating the character of Lew Archer, a California PI. Born in California, Millar lived in Ontario, Canada, until his father abandoned his mother, uprooting the family and forcing them to move again and again over the next few years-a formative experience that would often be echoed in Millar's work. While attending the University of Michigan, Millar began writing pulp fiction, publishing his first novel, The Dark Tunnel, in 1944. Millar introduced Lew Archer, the tough-but-sensitive private detective, in the 1946 short story "Find the Woman." The Moving Target (1949) was the first of more than a dozen Lew Archer novels, which established Millar as one of the finest crime novelists of his day. He is often included in the "holy trinity of detective fiction," along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
