三十多年前，她18歲的兒子艾瑞克在海上離奇失蹤，繁忙的工作成了她面對悲傷的方式。直到某晚，她遇見了水族館裡的一隻巨型太平洋章魚Marcellus。這位聰慧的章魚看似冷漠，卻逐漸與Tova建立起非凡的情誼……

 Marcellus如偵探般，推理出Tova兒子失蹤的真相，並決心用盡生命最後的力量揭開謎底，希望一切都不會太晚。

'Full of heart and humour . . . I loved it.' Ruth Hogan
'Will stay with you for a long time.' Anstey Harris
'I defy you to put it down once you’ve started' Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

After 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.
