內容簡介
繼《13．67》(英譯：The Borrowed)後，
陳浩基又一本英譯推理小說《網內人》上市！
殺死人的，從來不是凶器，
而是惡意……
「島田莊司推理小說獎」、「書展大獎」、「誠品書店閱讀職人大賞」三大獎得主，耗費兩年心血，登峰造極的最高傑作！
面對蜂擁而來的惡意，
她想不到的是，
就算拔掉了網路線，
也逃不出這張人性交織出來的網……
小雯死了，從22樓墜下，摔得粉身碎骨。
警察說是自殺，但她的姐姐阿怡知道，小雯是被「殺死」的。畢竟她在去世前，才因為一起性騷擾案遭到網路霸凌，姓名、學校都被公開，每天忍受著網友不堪的辱罵、陌生人惡毒的眼光。為了不讓小雯白白犧牲，阿怡誓言揪出整起事件的始作俑者，只要能揭開真相，她願意付出任何代價。
她找上了神秘的無牌偵探阿涅，阿涅繭居在破落的舊大樓裡，生活邋遢、性情乖戾，卻擁有超凡的駭客技術。他很快地縮小了調查範圍，推斷幕後黑手就隱藏在小雯身邊的人之中。
但隨著真相一層層剝開，阿怡心底那個「妹妹」的形象卻漸漸模糊，不知不覺中，她陷入親情與謊言的迷障裡無法抽身，而罪與罰的天秤也開始傾斜，急速倒向難以意料的結局……
「復仇」是什麼？是彌補遺憾的救贖，還是人性陷落的深淵？「網路」又是什麼？它帶來更多的便利，還是更危險的紛爭？陳浩基繼《13‧67》後，傾盡兩年心血，以更臻純熟的敘事技藝，融合精湛細密的布局和深入骨髓的描寫，帶給我們一部有如鑽石般璀璨的極致傑作，也讓我們人在網中，身不由己，欲罷不能！

****************************************
From the author of the acclaimed novel The Borrowed, a very timely and propulsively plotted tale of cyberbullying and revenge, about a woman on the hunt for the truth about her sister's death.
Chan Ho-Kei's The Borrowed was one of the most acclaimed international crime novels of recent years, a vivid and compelling tale of power, corruption, and the law spanning five decades of the history of Hong Kong. Now he delivers Second Sister, an up-to-the-minute tale of a Darwinian digital city where everyone from tech entrepreneurs to teenagers is struggling for the top.
A schoolgirl – Siu-Man – has committed suicide, leaping from her twenty-second floor window to the pavement below. Siu-Man is an orphan and the librarian older sister who's been raising her refuses to believe there was no foul play – nothing seemed amiss. She contacts a man known only as N. – a hacker, and an expert in cybersecurity and manipulating human behavior. But can Nga-Yee interest him sufficiently to take her case, and can she afford it if he says yes?
What follows is a cat and mouse game through the city of Hong Kong and its digital underground, especially an online gossip platform, where someone has been slandering Siu-Man. The novel is also populated by a man harassing girls on mass transit; high school kids, with their competing agendas and social dramas; a Hong Kong digital company courting an American venture capitalist; and the Triads, market women and noodle shop proprietors who frequent N.'s neighborhood of Sai Wan. In the end it all comes together to tell us who caused Siu-Man's death and why, and to ask, in a world where online and offline dialogue has increasingly forgotten about the real people on the other end, what the proper punishment is.
