| 金匕首獎（Gold Dagger Award）得主又一力作 英國 BBC One 電視影集神探任恩 Zen 原著小說 憑藉著精準掌握極端分子心理的洞察力，以《鼠王》一書勇奪金匕首獎的英國作家麥可．狄布丁， 再次為讀者帶來令人激賞的的懸疑故事。一則錯綜複雜但卻彼此彼此息息相關的故事，眾人所有的迫切與絕望，全都圍繞著一位弟子們尊稱為「永恆先知」的神秘男子…… 神祕離奇又詭譎的兇殺案，喜愛神探任恩的讀者請勿錯過！ With an extraordinarily acute take on the extremist mind, the award-winning author of Ratking gives readers an electrifying story of interconnected lives, all of which spin in a desperate orbit around a man known to his followers as the ＂Eternal Prophet.＂ In this majestically unnerving novel, Michael Dibdin, the creator of the acclaimed Aurelio Zen mysteries, explores themes that might have been ripped out of today＇s headlines, as he charts America＇s dual epidemic of religious cultism and random violence. The murders take place in distant cities and with no apparent motive. All that connects them is their cold-blooded efficiency. But a dogged Seattle detective and a horribly bereaved survivor are about to come face-to-face with their perpetrator—a man named Los, a self-styled prophet who has the power to make his followers travel thousands of miles to kill for him. Out of mayhem and revelation, the minutiae of police work and the explosive contents of a psychotic mind, Michael Dibdin orchestrates a tour de force of dread. This should be read with the lights on and the doors firmly bolted. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－- Excerpt

＂What the hell?＂ he demanded. Pearce shook his head. He looked as though he was about to cry. Grabbing his mouth with one hand, he plunged past his partner and out o f the front door. Robinson started after him, then turned back. He drew his pistol and stepped warily into the room. The bed unmade, female clothing strewn around, no sign of any serious disturbance. The light was dimmed by layers of grimy net curtains and a dust-laden valance of folds and flounces that resembled bad meringue. A flicker of movement caught his attention. A mobile suspended over a crib. Plastic figures of animals and birds in bright primary colours revolved slowly in the draft from the heating vent. Then he heard a noise, somewhere between a groan and a gurgle. It seemed to be coming from the crib. Robinson remembered that the Sullivans had had another child just before they broke up. The ＂Accident,＂ Dawn called it. Kimo Robinson thought that was kind of gross, even though the little thing couldn＇t understand. The noise was repeated, more urgently. He walked over to a crib, feeling awkward and incompetent. Hopefully the EMT＇s would know how to calm a baby. But this baby did not need calming. Even before he reached the crib, Robinson realized that the noise he had heard was coming from beyond the window, out in the front yard, where Bill Pearce was hurling up a curdled mess of half-digested Tex-Mex. The baby by contrast, lay quiet and still, its tiny fingers clutching at nothing, its pale blue eyes wide open, a neat, blackened hole punched in the centre of its forehead. The mass of blood and brain fragments which had hemorrhaged from its nose and mouth lay congealing on the pillow and quilt… －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－- Excerpt
