Through the dark wood where the dead trees give no shelter Nanna Birk Larsen runs . . . There is a bright monocular eye that follows, like a hunter after a wounded deer. It moves in a slow approaching zigzag, marching through the Pineseskoven wasteland, through the Pentecost Forest. The chill water, the fear, his presence not so far away ... There is one torchlight on her now, the single blazing eye. And it is here ... Sarah Lund is looking forward to her last day as a detective with the Copenhagen Police department before moving to Sweden. But everything changes when nineteen-year-old student, Nanna Birk Larsen, is found raped and brutally murdered in the woods outside the city. Lund’s plans to relocate are put on hold as she leads the investigation along with fellow detecive Jan Meyer. While Nanna’s family struggles to cope with their loss, local politician, Troels Hartmann, is in the middle of an election campaign to become the new mayor of Copenhagen. When links between City Hall and the murder suddenly come to light , the case takes an entirely different turn. Over the course of twenty days, suspect upon suspect emerges as violence, political intrigue cast their shadows over the hunt for the killer.
David Hewson's novels have been translated into a wide range of languages, from Italian to Japanese, and his debut work, Semana Santa, set in Holy Week Spain, was filmed with Mira Sorvino. Dante's Numbers is his thirteenth published novel.
David was born in Yorkshire in 1953 and left school at the age of seventeen to work as a cub reporter on one of the smallest evening newspapers in the country in Scarborough. Eight years later he was a staff reporter on The Times in London, covering news, business and latterly working as arts correspondent. He worked on the launch of the Independent and was a weekly columnist for the Sunday Times for a decade before giving up journalism entirely in 2005 to focus on writing fiction.
Semana Santa won the WH Smith Fresh Talent award for one of the best debut novels of the year in 1996 and was later made into a movie starring Mira Sorvino and Olivier Martinez. Four standalone works followed before A Season for the Dead, the first in a series set in Italy. The seventh Roman novel featuring Nic Costa and his colleagues, Dante's Numbers, appeared in October 2008. At the end of 2006 he signed renewed contracts with Pan Macmillan in the UK and Bantam Dell in the US to extend the series to nine books, running to 2012. The titles are published in numerous languages around the world including Chinese and Japanese... and Italian.
He has featured regularly on the speaker lists of leading international book events, including the Melbourne and Ottawa writers' festivals, the Harrogate Crime Festival, Thrillerfest, Bouchercon and Left Coast Crime. He has taught at writing schools around the world and is a regular faculty member for the Book Passage Mystery Writers Conference in Corte Madera, California, where he has worked alongside writers such as Martin Cruz Smith and Michael Connelly.

这本书,天哪,读起来就像是坐上了一辆失控的过山车,完全不知道下一秒会冲向哪个黑暗的角落。作者的叙事手法简直是鬼斧神工,他将错综复杂的人物关系编织成一张密不透风的网,每一个角色似乎都背负着沉重的秘密,让人忍不住想撕开那层伪装,看看底下究竟藏着怎样一副腐烂的骨架。我尤其欣赏他对环境氛围的刻画,那种阴郁、潮湿、仿佛连空气里都弥漫着铁锈和死亡气息的感觉,真实到让人汗毛倒竖。我记得有几章的场景设置在某个被遗弃的工业区,光线昏暗,机器的残骸在微风中发出低沉的呻吟,那种压迫感,我甚至能闻到旧油污的味道。情节的推进是那种慢炖的艺术,不是那种一上来就用爆炸场面唬人的作品,而是通过日常的对话、不经意的眼神交流,慢慢地积累着张力,直到你感觉自己的神经已经绷到了极限,然后——一个突如其来的转折,像冰锥一样刺穿了你所有的预设。阅读过程中,我不得不频繁地合上书,深呼吸几口,整理一下纷乱的思绪,因为一旦走神,就可能错过某个至关重要的线索。这不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一次心理学的实验,作者在精准地操控着读者的情绪波动,让人欲罢不能,又痛不欲生。
评分这本书的魅力在于它对“灰色地带”的深入探索,它让你明白,有时候,最高的道德可能需要通过最卑劣的手段去实现。我很少读到一部作品能如此坦然地直面人性的虚伪和自欺欺人。作者的笔触极其老辣,他似乎并不想教导读者什么,而是单纯地记录和展示。这种客观到近乎冷漠的叙事立场,反而让作品具有了极强的说服力。我发现自己读到某些角色的“堕落”过程时,不仅没有感到强烈的谴责,反而产生了一种理解,甚至是一种微妙的共鸣,这让我感到既震撼又不安。书中对权力斗争的描绘也十分精妙,它不是那种传统的宫廷戏码,而是渗透在日常互动中的微观权力博弈,一个眼神、一个暂停的回答、一次不恰当的沉默,都可能意味着生与死的较量。这本书像一面镜子,照出了我们每个人在极端压力下可能做出的选择,它迫使你走出自己的道德舒适区,去审视那些被社会规范压抑的“可能性”。
评分说实话,一开始我差点被劝退。前三分之一的篇幅,节奏慢得像凝固的蜂蜜,大量的内心独白和环境烘托,对于追求快节奏刺激的读者来说,无疑是一种考验。但是,如果能坚持下去,你会发现作者是在进行一场宏大的布局,他耐心地为你搭建世界观,细致入微地描绘社会结构和权力运作的底层逻辑。这种前期铺垫的深度,为后半段爆发的智力较量奠定了坚实的基础。我尤其赞叹作者在处理信息碎片化方面的技巧,不同的章节似乎在讲述不同的故事,但随着阅读的深入,那些看似无关紧要的片段,如同拼图的边缘,开始互相咬合,最终形成一幅令人震撼的全景图。这种“顿悟”的快感,是许多平庸之作无法提供的。而且,这本书对细节的关注达到了近乎偏执的程度,比如对于某个特定时间点光线变化的描述,或是某种罕见手工艺品的制作流程,这些看似冗余的细节,实际上都是为后续的情节转折埋下的精确伏笔。读完后,我有一种强烈的冲动,想要立刻回去重新翻阅开头的章节,去寻找那些被我忽略的、闪烁着微光的暗示。
评分读完之后,我久久不能平静,感觉好像刚刚经历了一场漫长而艰苦的智力跋涉。这本书的结构设计堪称教科书级别,它采用了多重叙事线索交织推进的方式,每一条线索都保持着极高的悬念和推进力,但它们彼此独立又互相牵制。真正高明的地方在于,作者几乎没有使用任何传统的悬疑小说套路,比如刻意的误导或者突兀的反转,所有的真相揭示都是逻辑推导的必然结果,只是读者被引导着绕了一个大弯子才看到终点。我特别喜欢作者对“时间”的运用,过去的回忆和当下的行动被巧妙地剪辑在一起,时而闪回,时而跳跃,让你必须全神贯注地去重建事件的先后顺序。它对复杂心理状态的刻画尤其细腻,那种被孤立感吞噬、在绝望中寻找最后一丝希望的挣扎,写得入木三分,让人感同身受。这部作品不是用来消遣的,它是需要你投入全部心智去“解码”的,每一次阅读的停顿,都像是为下一次更深入的探索做准备,这是一次真正令人满足的阅读体验。
评分这是一部真正能让你从心底里感到不安的作品。我通常不太喜欢那种过分渲染血腥和暴力的叙事,但这部作品的恐怖之处,恰恰在于它的“日常性”。它剥去了我们习以为常的安全外衣,赤裸裸地展示了人性中那些最阴暗、最扭曲的角落,那些我们努力不去正视的部分。叙事者似乎对人性的弱点有着近乎病态的洞察力,他笔下的人物,每一个都不是脸谱化的“好人”或“坏蛋”,他们是活生生的、充满矛盾的集合体。我尤其关注其中一个配角,他看似无足轻重,却在关键时刻展现出令人脊背发凉的冷酷和算计。他的动机,直到最后几页才被揭示,那一刻,我仿佛看到了人性中某种原始的、无法被文明驯化的野兽本能。书中的哲学思辨也相当到位,它没有直接给出答案,而是将一个关于“正义”与“代价”的难题抛给了读者,让你在合上书后依然要花费数小时去咀嚼和辩驳。语言风格上,它显得非常克制,但这种克制反而更具穿透力,如同手术刀般精准地切割着情感的皮囊,直达核心的痛点。
