书籍简介

一名私家侦探受雇寻找失踪的人，但在这个案件中一切都不正常。那个销声匿迹的推销员漂亮、酗酒的妻子等了半年多才找到他吗?为什么线索只有照片和火柴盒?随着调查人员越来越令人费解的追捕，他进入了迷宫般的城市地下世界深处，他开始怀疑是否实际上是他迷路了。

“《燃烧的地图》融合了黑色惊悚片色彩和超现实主义梦境，令人陶醉。”——《旧金山纪事报》(San Francisco Chronicle)

 'A brilliant display of pyrotechnics, a compelling tour de force ... by a master jeweller of polished prose' The New York Times

A private detective is hired to find a missing person, but nothing is normal about this case. Why has the beautiful, alcoholic wife of the vanished salesman waited over half a year to search for him? Why are the only clues a photo and a matchbox? As the investigator's ever-more puzzling hunt takes him into the labyrinthine depths of the urban underworld, he begins to wonder if it is in fact he who is lost.

An intoxicating blend of noir thriller and surreal dream, The Ruined Map questions identity itself. 'An exciting, imaginative and entertaining novel' San Francisco Chronicle
