Highly recommended by Stephen King as one of the most intricate and thrilling novels he has ever read in the past ten years. Divorced expoliceman Jackson Brodie takes over an old case which constantly reminds him of the murder of his sister years ago when he was a young boy. This novel has been rearranged into a popular BBC TV play.

CASE HISTORIES

《塵封舊案》

《塵封舊案》被懸疑小說大師斯蒂芬·金贊譽為十年來讀過的最曲折迷離的小說。年少時就承受了失去至親的創傷的偵探懷著對死者親屬的悲憫情懷，接手了對三十年前舊案的調查。這部小說被改編成 BBC熱播電視劇，由詹森·艾薩克飾演的杰克森·布羅迪的形象深入人心。

The book contains 13 short stories about relationships, marriage, family, affairs, and love, all of which reveal both the bright and dark sides of people's private life. It is absorbing and thoughtprovoking.

THIRTEEN KINDS OF MODALITIES

《十三種情態》

都市小說圣手邱華棟的新作，收錄了十三篇與當代情感、婚姻、家庭、外遇、戀愛有關的短篇小說。小說的題目都只有兩個字：《禪修》《心霾》《墨脫》《溺水》《降落》《入迷》《十渡》《大叔》《龍袍》《云柜》《蒸鍋》《開盤》《閉關》等等。小說寫的是日常生活中比較私人的隱秘生活，大部分和情感有關，不好為人道，但卻影響著人自身的精神。這樣的短篇小說好看而豐盈。

"With a lie you can go very far, but you can never go back." Karine Tuil, the winner of the WIZO Jewish Literature Prize in 2001, strongly represents the conflict between oriental and western civilizations, redefining American social situation since 9.11 from the perspectives of others in this book.

THE AGE OF REINVENTION

《謊言與命運》

“謊言可以讓我們前進，但我們將永遠無法回頭。”2001 年 WIZO 猶太文學獎得主卡麗娜·蒂爾強勢再現東西方兩大文明之間的沖突，從他者視角，重審美國“9 ·11”以來的社會局勢。
