The Other Lady Vanishes

$ 280 元 原價 280

After escaping from a private sanitarium, Adelaide Blake arrives in Burning Cove, California, desperate to start over.

Working at an herbal tea shop puts her on the radar of those who frequent the seaside resort town: Hollywood movers and shakers always in need of hangover cures and tonics. One such customer is Jake Truett, a recently widowed businessman in town for a therapeutic rest. But unbeknownst to Adelaide, his exhaustion is just a cover.

In Burning Cove, no one is who they seem. Behind facades of glamour and power hide drug dealers, gangsters, and grifters. Into this make-believe world comes psychic to the stars Madame Zolanda. Adelaide and Jake know better than to fall for her kind of con. But when the medium becomes a victim of her own dire prediction and is killed, they're drawn into a murky world of duplicity and misdirection.

Neither Adelaide nor Jake can predict that in the shadowy underground they'll find connections to the woman Adelaide used to be--and uncover the specter of a killer who's been real all along...

 

逃離私人療養院後,阿德萊德·布萊克 (Adelaide Blake) 抵達加利福尼亞州的燃燒灣 (Burning Cove),迫切希望重新開始。
 
在一家藥草茶店工作,讓她成為那些經常光顧海濱度假小鎮的人的焦點:好萊塢的大人物總是需要宿醉治療和補品。其中一位顧客是傑克·特魯特 (Jake Truett),他是鎮上最近喪偶的一名需要療癒休息的商人。但阿德萊德並不知情,他的疲憊只是一種掩飾。
 
在燃燒灣,似乎沒有人展現真實面貌。在魅力和權力的背後隱藏著毒販、歹徒和兇手。進入這個虛構的世界,對於明星夫人佐蘭達 (Madame Zolanda) 來說是精神上的層次。阿德萊德和傑克知道最好不要因為她的那種騙局而墮落。但是,當媒體成為她自己可怕的預測的受害者並被殺害時,他們被捲入了一個雙重和誤導的陰暗世界。
 
無論是阿德萊德還是傑克都無法預測,在陰暗的地下,他們會找到與阿德萊德曾經有過聯繫的女人,並揭露一個一直真實無比的殺手的幽靈......
