书籍简介

“莫泽太太，我答应你了，”探长说，他完全是想离开这里。

“靠你永远的救恩吗?”

巡查员犹豫了。他最后说：“我将得到永恒的救赎。”他还能做什么?

当一个年轻的女孩被发现在瑞士的山林中被残忍地杀害时，聪明的探长Matthai无法放下这个案子。甚至当一个地方重罪犯被逮捕的时候也不会。嫌疑人连一次认罪都没有。

Matthai向女孩的母亲承诺，他将不惜一切代价找到真正的凶手。

《誓不罢休》被改编成好莱坞电影，讲述了一个男人在绝望中寻找真相的令人毛骨悚然的故事。一个人被迫牺牲一切，做出残忍和痴迷的行为，绝望地寻找一个他找不到的杀手。

"'It's a promise, Frau Moser,' the inspector said, impelled solely by the desire to leave this place.

"'On your eternal salvation?'

"The inspector hesitated. 'On my eternal salvation,' he finally said. What else could he do?

When a young girl is found brutally murdered in a Swiss mountain forest, the brilliant Inspector Matthai can't put the case behind him. Not even when a local felon is arrested. Not even once the suspect has confessed.

Matthai promises the girl's mother that he will stop at nothing to find the real killer.

Adapted into a Hollywood film, The Pledge is the chilling story of a man in desperate search of the truth. A man driven to sacrifice everything, to commit acts of cruelty and obsession in a desperate search for a killer he can't find.
