● 內文簡介

暢銷驚悚作家布萊恩‧弗利曼(Brian Freeman)最新系列犯罪驚悚小說以舊金山重案組警探佛斯特(Frost Eastern)為主角,破解一連串充滿令人匪夷所思謎團的犯罪事件,系列首部曲《The Night Bird》於今年二月出版至今已創下總銷量350,000的銷售佳績,並售出包括德、捷、斯、匈、土、泰、韓7國外語版權。

在惡名昭彰的連環殺手魯迪(Rudy Cutter)被判終身監禁四年之後,舊金山重案組警探佛斯特,卻發現了一個可怕的事實,當年他最親密的朋友兼夥伴,為了早日讓這名逍遙法外的惡魔受到懲罰,竟然將假的犯罪證據嫁禍在狡猾的魯迪身上。讓苦無證據的佛斯特得以早日將這名殺害親生姊姊的凶手繩之以法。

得知真相的佛斯特雖然百般不願意,但仍舊敵不過內心的譴責,揭發整起事件,將這名連環殺手從牢籠中放了出來。

佛斯特下定決心以完整的犯罪事證,將魯迪重新關進監獄之中。這次佛斯特找了一名撰寫犯罪紀實的非文學作家,她的下一部作品將撰寫有關魯迪的犯案記錄,為此她潛心研究這名狡詐又病態的殺手多年。但是,佛斯特的請求卻將這名女作家給嚇壞了。這名自認為比任何人都瞭解魯迪的作家警告佛斯特──魯迪絕對會為自己被偷走的那四年歲月進行復仇。

然而,對佛斯特而言,打敗作惡多端的殺人犯艱難,但是當事件涉及個人情感,他又該將如何面對心中的那頭野獸?
