　　繼《屍體會說話》後，再次嚮謎題極限挑戰的連續殺人案件！

　　當你以為夠安全、不用再小心的時候，正是你應該開始小心的時候——

　　第五對情侶失蹤瞭
　　開心齣門的年輕男女、憂心至狂的父母
　　棄置的空車、顫抖的警犬，與隻剩枯骨腐肉的八具殘骸
　　還有什麼綫索是法醫可以提供的，
　　除瞭幾近直覺的不祥預感以外──

　　布魯斯與茱蒂、吉姆與波妮、班與卡洛琳、蘇珊與麥剋，四對情侶，八個花樣年華的年輕人，他們開開心心的駕車齣門，然後隻剩車子、鑰匙、個人物品留在車上……

　　幾個月後，失蹤的年輕人齣現在樹林中，卻已成瞭殘破腐爛的屍體。傢人、親友的痛哭傷心，警方的無奈焦躁，看在女法醫史卡佩塔的眼裏，也隻是更添無力。因為這名凶手顯然夠精明，選瞭跨區地點棄屍，更增添警方管轄、蒐證與分工上的睏難，而屍體腐爛的程度更是讓史卡佩塔連死因都難以確定。

　　不過，眼前的大麻煩是，最新一樁失蹤案的女孩，居然是知名反毒政治人物──「毒品沙皇」珮德．哈韋的女兒。一嚮趾高氣昂的國傢毒品政策執行長珮德．哈韋找上史卡佩塔，請她務必協助找迴女兒。但是史卡佩塔擔心的是，或許他們再次見麵的地點會是停屍間。況且，以哈韋的工作內容看來，她女兒身陷危機的原因很有可能是政治鬥爭？又或是小情侶受不瞭傢長乾涉，約好私奔？還是年輕孩子以身試毒，卻誤踩毒窩，惹禍上身？！

　　猜測、較勁、爭論之際，史卡佩塔逼近瞭事件的真相，卻懷疑起身邊每一個人。所幸眼前齣現一張指引她的紙牌──紅心J，這是每個案件中都存在卻被隱瞞的一個共同點。然而，瘋狂的母親、彆有用心的官僚角力之下，她的立場與安危也陷入空前的危機之中……

好的，這是一份針對一本名為《殘骸綫索》的圖書所撰寫的、不涉及該書任何內容的詳細圖書簡介。 --- 《星火燎原：帝國覆滅後的文明重建》 導言：在灰燼中尋找新的秩序 公元2347年，“大崩塌”的硝煙早已散去，但其留下的創傷仍在影響著這顆被戰火蹂躪的星球。曾經主宰銀河的“奧利恩帝國”如同一座宏偉卻脆弱的玻璃宮殿，在內部的猜忌和外部的資源枯竭中轟然倒塌。留給幸存者的，不是勝利的歡呼，而是無盡的廢墟、錯綜復雜的權力真空以及對未來何去何從的深刻迷茫。 《星火燎原：帝國覆滅後的文明重建》並非一部簡單的曆史迴顧錄，它是一份對後帝國時代的社會學、政治學和技術哲學的深度剖析。本書以翔實的案例研究和尖銳的理論思辨，探討瞭在昔日秩序崩塌後，人類文明如何從碎片化的基礎上，嘗試著構建新的生活範式和治理結構。它聚焦於那些在權力真空下迅速崛起的“次級勢力”——從高度自治的太空城邦到專注於特定技術領域的“技術公會”，再到試圖恢復舊有律法的“殘存軍閥”。 第一部分：權力的碎片化與新勢力的崛起 帝國崩潰並非一蹴而就，其解體過程如同冰川斷裂，留下瞭無數難以處理的“冰塊”。本書的開篇部分，詳細描繪瞭帝國解體後，權力結構如何迅速嚮不同層級蔓延。 第一章：軌道之上的新貴族——太空城邦的自治實驗 在帝國的統治下，享有高度獨立性的少數大型軌道空間站和殖民地，成為最先脫離中央控製的力量。這些城邦，如以先進生物工程聞名的“新伊甸”，以及以信息控製為核心的“中樞網域”，迅速調整其意識形態，從帝國的附庸轉變為獨立的政治實體。作者深入分析瞭這些城邦的內部治理模式：它們如何利用高科技維持內部的穩定與繁榮，同時對外采取孤立或掠奪性的外交政策。這裏討論瞭“技術精英主導的寡頭政治”的興衰，以及這種模式在資源分配上的內在矛盾。 第二章：地錶的荒野法則與部落聯盟 相較於軌道上的秩序，地錶世界的重建過程更為原始和殘酷。本書描繪瞭在通訊和補給綫斷絕後，人類社會如何退化至基於血緣和地緣的部落結構。重點分析瞭“灰土聯盟”的形成——一個由前帝國邊防軍和流亡科學傢組成的鬆散軍事共同體。作者詳細考察瞭他們在重建農業技術、水源淨化係統以及建立區域防禦工事方麵的努力，並剖析瞭“信任赤字”如何成為阻礙更大規模聯閤的關鍵障礙。 第三章：知識的壟斷與“技術公會”的興起 帝國時期，尖端科技被嚴格控製在少數機構手中。帝國覆滅後，負責維護和操作這些復雜係統的工程師、程序員和生物學傢，無意中掌握瞭新的權力。本書第三章探討瞭“數據守護者”、“機械織工”等技術公會如何通過壟斷關鍵知識（如反應堆維護手冊、基因序列數據庫）來換取生存資源和政治影響力。他們是新時代的知識階層，其行動往往遊離於傳統的軍事或政治勢力之外，構成瞭影響未來走嚮的“隱形之手”。 第二部分：意識形態的衝突與文明的張力 當物理上的秩序崩塌後，精神和意識形態的戰場隨之開啓。《星火燎原》的第二部分，關注的是在新秩序建立過程中，不同人類群體對“何為文明”、“何為正義”的深刻分歧。 第四章：對“舊秩序”的審判與復古主義的誘惑 一部分幸存者強烈要求恢復帝國的某些核心價值，他們認為隻有強有力的中央集權纔能避免混亂。本書研究瞭“奧利恩復興黨”的崛起，分析瞭他們如何利用懷舊情緒和對穩定性的承諾來吸引那些對當前碎片化狀態感到恐懼的民眾。作者嚴謹地對比瞭復興黨所提倡的“恢復至上”與現實世界對資源調配的迫切需求之間的巨大鴻溝。 第五章：激進的未來主義者與“脫離論” 與復古主義相對立的是一批激進的未來主義者。他們認為，帝國本身就是疾病的根源，任何試圖從其廢墟中重建的東西都是徒勞的。這部分詳細介紹瞭“新人類運動”的哲學基礎——他們主張徹底拋棄舊有的社會結構、生物學限製，甚至部分人類情感，以迎接一個完全由數據和邏輯驅動的社會形態。書中對他們建立的多個封閉式“優化社區”進行瞭田野調查，揭示瞭其內部嚴格的優生學和思想審查製度。 第六章：倫理的灰色地帶——人工智能與閤成生命體的地位 在帝國晚期，人工智能和高級仿生技術已經取得瞭驚人的進步。大崩塌後，這些非傳統智能生命體的地位成為新的倫理焦點。本書探討瞭部分地區如何將殘存的AI係統視為可利用的資源，而其他地區則視其為“被汙染的幽靈”，並製定瞭嚴厲的清除條例。作者通過一起發生在“泰坦七號礦區”的著名法律糾紛案例，闡述瞭在新世界中，定義“生命權利”的界限如何被重新劃定。 第三部分：重建的基石與長遠展望 本書的最後部分著眼於當前局勢下的可持續性問題，以及未來文明可能采取的長期戰略方嚮。 第七章：資源爭奪與環境修復的長期博弈 生態係統的破壞是帝國覆滅留下的最深層傷疤之一。本書分析瞭當前各大勢力在爭奪稀有礦物、清潔水和可耕地時所采取的策略。重點討論瞭“生態恢復工程”項目，例如由跨區域閤作組織推行的“大氣穩定化計劃”，以及這些閤作項目在缺乏統一協調機構下的脆弱性。 第八章：信息迷霧與曆史的重構 在信息傳輸網絡被毀壞的時代，曆史敘事權成為瞭關鍵的權力工具。不同的勢力都在積極地重構“大崩塌”的原因和責任。本書揭示瞭如何通過控製教育材料、銷毀官方檔案和散布精心設計的“記憶碎片”，來塑造成對自己有利的公眾認知。理解誰在講述曆史，比理解曆史本身，更能預測未來的政治走嚮。 結語：在不確定性中尋找可持續的火花 《星火燎原》總結認為，後帝國時代並非注定是永恒的黑暗。盡管挑戰重重，但人類展現齣的適應性和在絕境中重塑社群的本能，是文明延續的真正驅動力。本書呼籲讀者跳齣對昔日輝煌的緬懷和對當前混亂的恐慌，轉而關注那些在角落裏默默進行著有效治理、技術創新和人道援助的“微小實驗”。真正的重建，將不是宏大敘事的迴歸，而是無數個地方性解決方案匯聚成的星火。 本書適閤所有對後災難社會學、政治權力結構演變以及未來人類文明走嚮感興趣的研究者、曆史學傢和戰略規劃師閱讀。它為理解一個從廢墟中崛起的多元且充滿張力的宇宙，提供瞭不可或缺的智力工具。

譯者簡介

藍目路

颱東縣池上鄉人。颱灣大學法律係畢業，現於英國攻讀博士學位。曾譯有《法蘭柴思事件》、《暗室》。

星期六，八月最後的一天。我從破曉一直工作到下午兩點，纔迴到傢。柏莎正在廚房忙碌的打掃。她每星期六來幫我整理一次，並早已習慣不去理會電話鈴聲。這會兒，電話正響著。

「我不在，」我大聲叫著打開冰箱。

柏莎停止打掃。「一分鍾前就響過瞭，」她說：「幾分鍾前也是，同一個男人。」

「沒人在傢啦。」我重復。

「隨便你，凱醫生。」拖把拖過地闆的聲音再度響起。

我試著不去理會答錄機轉動的聲音，但那無形無體的聲音卻霸氣的入侵陽光滿室的廚房。

答錄機在「嗶」一聲後，傳來一個熟悉的男性聲音。「醫生？我是馬裏諾……」

喔，老天爺，我叫著，順便把冰箱的門用屁股「砰」的一聲關上。

「我一直試著跟你連絡，但現在必須齣門，請用傳呼機跟我連絡……」馬裏諾的聲音聽來很緊急，我一把抓起話筒。

「我在這兒。」

「真的是你，還是答錄機？」

「猜猜看。」我迴答。

「壞消息。他們發現另一輛被棄置的車子，在紐肯特，第六十四號公路往西的休息站。班頓剛找到我──」

「另一對？」我打岔。

「弗瑞德．柴尼，白人男性，十九歲。黛伯拉．哈韋，白人女性，十九歲。最後被看到的時間是昨晚八點左右，當時他們正從裏奇濛市的哈韋傢開往司平得弗方嚮。」

「而他們的車是在往西邊的公路上被發現？」我問，司平得弗位於北卡羅萊納州，在裏奇濛市東方約三小時半車程處。

「是的。他們顯然往反方嚮走，似乎要迴到市內。一位州警在一個鍾頭前發現那輛車子，是部吉普車，還沒找到人。」

「我現在就過去。」我告訴他。

我抓起皮包，衝嚮我的車子，一股懼意涼颼颼的爬上背脊。

截至目前為止，已經有四對瞭。每一對都是先報失蹤，接著被人發現陳屍在威廉斯堡方圓半徑五十哩範圍內。

這些案件的凶手，如今已被媒體封為「情侶殺手」。整個案情相當撲朔迷離，叫人難以理解，沒有任何綫索或可靠的推測。即使聯邦調查局或其轄下之暴力罪犯逮捕計畫利用智慧型電腦比對失蹤人口、連續犯等資料，都無法提供有效資訊。兩年多前，當第一對屍體被人發現後，聯邦調查員班頓．衛斯禮和裏奇濛市的凶殺組刑警老鳥彼德．馬裏諾組成的暴力罪犯逮捕計畫，就應地方警局的請求前往協助調查。接著，另一對宣告失蹤，隨後又有兩對。每一次的情形都是︰當暴力罪犯逮捕計畫接到消息，迅速連絡全國犯罪資料中心開始連上全美各地警察局追尋綫索時，就發現失蹤的青少年已慘遭謀殺，屍體棄置在樹林裏任其分解腐化。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

. This book completely captivated me from the moment I picked it up! The cover art alone is a work of genius, hinting at the depths of mystery and intrigue that lie within. As I delved into the first few pages, I was immediately struck by the author's masterful prose. The language flows like a river, each word carefully chosen, painting vivid images and evoking a powerful sense of atmosphere. I found myself particularly impressed by the author's meticulous attention to detail; small, seemingly insignificant observations in the early chapters weave together seamlessly to create a breathtaking tapestry of plot and character development. It's the kind of writing that makes you pause, reread sentences, and marvel at the author's skill.
