《利器》是史上第一本同時獲得兩座英國匕首獎的作品 　　英國犯罪協會年度新人獎評審團對《利器》評語：這部小說既生動又充滿了詩意。具有傑出的營造角色的能力，用極具想像力的方式去處理「自殘」的理由和問題。 **　　★入圍「艾倫坡小說獎」最後決選名單 　　★獲得獲得年度英國犯罪寫作協會的「年度新人獎」以及「佛萊明鋼匕首獎」 　　★美國文壇暢銷作家史蒂芬．金兩度為其著作背書，讚賞有加 　　★作家哈藍．科本、薇兒．麥克德米、歐各司坦．柏洛斯、凱特．艾金森大力推薦 　　★電影版權已經售出，由作者本人擔任劇本改編** 　　光用『恐怖』兩字，根本不足以形容這部小說處女作…… 　　在剩下差不多三十頁左右我就不敢再繼續往下看了， 　　但手指頭卻又不聽使喚地繼續翻著書頁。 　　──史蒂芬．金 　　每個人的人生都有脫軌的時候。我的第一次是妹妹去世那天；第二次則是舉起刀的晚上…… 　　13歲那年，卡蜜兒最疼愛的妹妹久病過世，就在同一年的夏天，她找到了解放生命痛苦的出口──她上癮似的，無法自拔地用尖利的器具在自己身上刻字，唯一完好無缺的部位是上背部一小塊皮膚跟她貌美的臉龐。 　　18年後，在三流報社擔任記者的卡蜜兒，極不情願地奉命回到故鄉追蹤兩起女童凶殺案件。遭到謀害的女童被發現時牙齒都被拔光，腿毛被刮掉，塗上口紅。兇手殘忍的手段，讓整個小鎮陷入極端的恐慌，居民們個個人心惶惶。 　　就在卡蜜兒一步步深入探究凶殺案件的真相時，卻也不小心挖掘出埋藏在自己家中的駭人秘密。而這個秘密所揭露的真相將她逼到了生命的邊緣，迫使她身上唯一僅存的完好皮膚也即將難以倖免於自殘的刀口下…… 本書特色 　　作者吉莉安．弗琳的出身背景和本書女主角卡蜜兒非常近似，弗琳本身在大學時期唸的是新聞系，畢業後也當過一陣子記者，同時她從小也是在密蘇里州長大的。和書中女主角過於相似的背景讓人不禁聯想弗琳是否也有不太快樂的童年？據她本人表示，她的童年並沒有什麼問題或是陰影，但她坦承自己從小就不是個「乖」女孩。小時候她最喜歡的遊戲是抓螞蟻去餵蜘蛛、扮演邪惡的看護跟表兄弟姐妹們玩恐怖的你追我跑，或是在有線頻道上觀看有一點色情成分的影片。她認為這些女性的早熟、權力關係的展現並不存在於女性的口述歷史裡頭，同時女性也不像男性有一套「性」和「暴力」的語言，但其實世界上最令人感到不安或是病態的一些關係，是出現在長年交往的女性朋友或是母女之間，但是女性始終沒有去面對或是承認潛藏在自己身上的黑暗面。因此她想要描寫女性的暴力，這部黑暗的小說也就於焉誕生。作者說：「黑暗面是很重要的，應該要像培育令人發毛的黑蘭花一樣去灌溉黑暗面。《利器》是我獻給讀者的一束詭異小花。」 作者簡介 吉莉安．弗琳　Gillian...
