一部令人驚艷的犯罪驚悚​​小說。女主角蘿拉(Lola)活脫脫是新版的莎蘭德(Lisbeth Salander,《龍紋身女孩》系列女主角),一身擁有莎蘭德式的膽識與聰明,與經典美劇《絕命毒師》(Breaking Bad)主角的堅決與野心,主宰男人幫派格鬥的勝負。

故事描寫:克倫肖六代(The Crenshaw Six)是洛杉磯中南部一個小幫派。規模不大,權勢卻不斷茁壯。他們意外深陷一場販毒集團的鬥爭漩渦,情況愈演愈烈。克倫肖六代表面上是由男子加西亞(Garcia)掌權,但是真正運籌帷幄的領導者(也是幫派的秘密武器)是加西亞的女朋友:蘿拉。

蘿拉,年輕漂亮,擅長扮演一名凡事順從的女友。在男人的世界裡,她不過是個美麗尤物,毫無殺傷力。這群愚蠢至極的男人,萬萬沒料到蘿拉比任何一位男人更堅毅、果決,甚至更殘忍、無情。當男友的幫派逐步陷入困境、背叛與暴力襲擊不斷襲來時,蘿拉的冷靜理智與領導能力,成為拯救幫派的唯一希望。

小說的情節緊張、場景逼真、快節奏、多層次的人物性格,精密布局大城市暗藏的鬥爭殺機,毫無縫隙地結合人性的性感、美麗與恐怖,以及脆弱與強大共存的矛盾感。這是一個陰暗
​而​幽閉的故事,卻又充滿力量,令人感動。

● 媒體報導

"With prose that's just a joy to read and a protagonist I'd welcome in my corner any time, LOLA is a terrific first novel, one of the best I've come across in years."──SJ Rozan, Edgar-winning author of GHOST HERO

“LOLA is a raw, dark and claustrophobic tale, but also a powerful and moving one. The prose is superb, the storytelling deft and the pace left me feeling a little feverish as I ripped through it. What I loved most of all was Lola, and the way Melissa [Scrivner]Love has made her vulnerable and powerful all at once. It's a long time since I've felt so connected to a character's emotions and motivations in a novel.” ──Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew

“Intense, gritty, and breathlessly paced, LOLA is a thriller that’s been elevated by exquisite writing and deep character development. The titular Lola is The City of Angelsmade flesh, beauty and horror living side by side with no barriers between. Melissa Scrivner Love’s exceptional debut brought me to deep empathy and cracked my heart in all the best ways. I fell hard for Lola in all her fierce and broken beauty, her reckless and necessary hardness, her bottomless capacity for loyalty. Don’t miss this ride. “──Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of The Opposite of Everyone

“I have never read anything like LOLA, magical and microscopic in scope. An art book, a lens, a page turner, a provocative examination of the many cities that are one city, Los Angeles, as well as the woman who drives the story, the woman who sees, notices, processes, relentlessly, our Lola. But also as important, Lola's vulnerability, as concrete as her authority. The constant interplay between the two is enthralling. My phone is chock full of screenshots of paragraphs of beautiful, purposeful prose. An unforgettable book about a smart woman, the way her mind works, her heart too. Melissa Scrivner Love is bursting with talent and style.”──Caroline Kepnes, author of YOU and HIDDEN BODIES
