内容介绍

生动、神秘、迷人 "M. L. Rio

难以抗拒"《星期日泰晤士报》

有些人认为狐狸到处收集 "气 "或生命力，但事实并非如此。我们是有生命的生物，就像你们一样，只不过通常长得更漂亮一些......"。

满洲里，1908 年： 一名年轻女子被发现冻死在雪地里。

她的死因被狐狸的传言所掩盖，人们相信狐狸会变成美丽的女人和男人，引诱人们陷入危险。

包拯，一个以侦查真相闻名的侦探，受雇揭开女死者的身份。从小，包拯就对狐神充满了好奇，但他们一直遥不可及。也许，直到现在。

小雪是一个有很多秘密的生物，但最重要的是，她是一个寻求复仇的母亲。为了追捕一名杀人犯，她将从中国北部追踪到日本，而鲍则紧随其后。

随着他们的道路越走越近，雪诺和阿宝将会遇到老朋友和新敌人，甚至会发生更多的死亡事件。

《狐狸的妻子》是一部令人惊叹的小说，讲述了旧爱与第二次机会、母性纽带的深度，以及很可能是真实的古老民间故事。

'Vivid, enigmatic, enchanting' M. L. Rio
'Irresistible' Sunday Times

Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking . . .

Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen in the snow.

Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until, perhaps, now.

Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance. Hunting a murderer, the trail will take her from northern China to Japan, with Bao following doggedly behind.

And as their paths draw ever closer together, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur.

The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depth of maternal bonds, and ancient folktales that may very well be true.
