Paper Ghosts
批評家のレビュー
"A rich hybrid work that's at once a zany, dialogue-propelled two-hander, a murder mystery, a road novel, a pair of psychological case studies and a meditation on photography. It would make a fine indie movie, although screen adaptation would entail sacrificing Heaberlin's evocative prose." [The Sunday Times (UK)]
"I kept thinking of [Patricia] Highsmith while reading Paper Ghosts.... [Julia] Heaberlin anchors her books with troubled but endearingly badass women.... Like Highsmith, Heaberlin displays a keen grasp of casual cruelty that defines human interaction, not to mention a flair for stories in which no one - least of all the protagonist - can be trusted.... Texas has yet again bred a major American noir writer." (D Magazine)
"[An] artful and elegiac psychological thriller... Heaberlin brilliantly combines travelogue with a heartbreaking portrait of the damage done by childhood.... [She] wields words like weapons, with each one chosen to heighten tension, underscore emotion, or foreshadow doom." (Publishers Weekly)
あらすじ・解説
A Texas map marked with three red dots like drops of blood. A serial killer who claims to have dementia. A mysterious young woman who wants answers. What could go wrong?
Finalist for the ITW Thriller Award
"Fast and furious... You'll never see what's coming." (The Washington Post)
Years ago, her sister Rachel vanished. Now, she is almost certain the man who took Rachel sits in the passenger seat beside her. He claims to have dementia and no memory of murdering girls across Texas in a string of places where he shot eerie pictures. To find the truth, she proposes a dangerous idea: a 10-day road trip with a possible serial killer to examine cold cases linked to his haunting photographs.
Is he a liar or a broken old man? Is he a pathological con artist - or is she?
You won’t see the final terrifying twist spinning your way until the very last mile.
