《幸運之子》作者馬凱創作量少質精。新作描述人氣電影學教授波蒂受邀回母校授課,卻發現校園女學生遇害舊案的凶手也許抓錯人了⋯
1995年,一位體育教練Omar Evans因女高中生Thalia的死而被定罪。多年後,Thalia當年的室友,現為小有名氣的教授與播客Bodie Kane,應高中母校之邀,以客座教師的身分返回這個她曾一心想逃離的校園。校園的景物免不了勾起了Bodie對當年摯友身亡疑雲的回憶,只是,當她越回想,越覺得,當年的案件疑點重重,連曾自詡與此案毫無干係的自己,似乎也無法置身事外!也許多年來,解開謎團的關鍵,一直就藏在Bodie記憶迷宮的深處……
A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.
