书籍简介

《纽约时报》即时畅销书BBC广播电台第二书友会精选：“充满爱心和幽默感。”

Tova Sullivan的丈夫去世后，她开始在索维尔湾水族馆做夜间清洁工的工作。自从她18岁的儿子埃里克30多年前在一艘船上神秘失踪后，忙碌的工作帮助她减淡这一悲伤。一天晚上，她遇到了马塞勒斯，一只生活在水族馆的巨大的太平洋章鱼，他能看到一切，但不会梦想着为他的人类俘虏举起八只手臂中的一只，直到他与托娃建立了非凡的友谊。

作为一名侦探，马塞勒斯推断出托娃的儿子失踪的那晚发生了什么。现在，马塞勒斯要利用他的老身体所能提供的一切技巧，在为时已晚之前为她揭开真相。

Anstey Harris'I defy you to put it down once you've started' Cynthia D'Aprix SweeneyAfter Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night cleaner shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. Ever since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat over thirty years ago keeping busy has helped her cope. One night she meets Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium who sees everything, but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors - until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late... Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
