"THRILLER OF THE WEEK. Delivers thrills and spills...A full tilt mix of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum" (Mail on Sunday)
"I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a python in a sack. The style is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve" (Adam LeBor The Times)
"Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we live in. Great nail-biting stuff!" (Robert Goddard)
"The narrative is thrilling: the tension tightens with action...It's a murder mystery, an illuminating account of contemporary international politics and a study of an unusual man......An excellent thriller which as a first novel is really remarkable" (Literary Review)
"I Am Pilgrim takes the modern spy novel and pushes it screaming and kicking into the twentieth-first century. With a stunning sense of plot, beautifully detailed writing, huge ambition and even huger talent, Hayes has produced one of the most memorable novels of recent times. This is a frightening, pulse-pounding journey into the future of terrorism and the brave new world we've been ushered into. Amazingly assured and complex, this is one of the best debut novels I've ever read" (Stav Sherez)
Can you commit the perfect crime?
Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation.
But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a rundown New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book.
What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race-against-time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruins on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his God.
这本书买了很久了,好像是在健身房运动的时候听的博客(可能是新闻酸菜馆)里面对这本书进行了介绍,当时就种草买回来了,拿到手后就傻了,足足有679页比字典还厚,如果只是上学或者上班期间拿出来一点时间看的话我估计得看一两个月,所以买回来就一直没有开封放在书架上。这段...
評分 評分随着社会的高速发展,科学技术水平日益进步,于是我们会发现,刑侦剧里的犯罪手法和破案手段都越来越高端,包括对罪犯进行心理侧写,模拟凶手的作案过程,对监控视频进行比对分析,诸如此类的硬科技实在让人惊叹。但是刑侦剧除了硬件,还需要配备软件,推理过程不能有bug,剧情...

雖然是個典型美式大英雄主義“最後一分鍾力挽狂瀾”的故事,但寫得齣奇的有吸引力。我要贊一下作者被很多人吐槽的插敘手法:一方麵給齣足夠的筆墨塑造齣一個血肉豐滿的恐怖分子,另外也讓故事的節奏前慢後快,特彆有助於渲染氣氛。這位作者是寫劇本齣身,在場景安排和情節推動上很有一套,敘事也很有畫麵感,不過在不少“技術細節”上略顯鬼扯。 雖然一個是極端穆a斯a林一個是天主教宗近侍,這裏的反派boss時常讓我聯想到丹布朗《天使與魔鬼》裏的Janus。感覺宗教復雜性的一個具體體現就是:文學作品中的救贖傢和破壞傢都經常是虔誠的教徒。上帝和魔鬼之間也許本來就是沒有界限的。
评分文字流暢,有很強的畫麵感。
评分居然會有差評,我驚瞭。什麼gripping, read in one sitting,都隻是為形容這樣的小說的好麼!Guardian說這是當年首選thriller這的確是名至實歸。畫麵感太好瞭,每每在著急看進展的時候作者展開上帝視角開始追述當年往事固然讓人著急,但我覺得這是他的小狡猾!
评分簡直是目前看的,米國愛國主義旗幟裏麵最啊哈哈哈哈哈哈的一部。Propaganda is just ooozing from every f**king chapter. 據說要拍電影啊,真閤適。
评分正如作者所言,寫小說如大海裏遊泳。很難寫的這麼好看。
