Over the course of several months, eight people vanish from their homes in the same Japanese town, a single playing card found on each door. Known as “the Narito Disappearances,” the crime has authorities baffled―until a confession appears on the police’s doorstep, signed by one Oda Sotatsu, a thread salesman. Sotatsu is arrested, jailed, and interrogated, but he refuses to speak. Even as his family comes to visit, even as his execution looms, and even as a young woman named Jito Joo enters his cell, he maintains his vow of silence. And as a journalist’s obsession uncovers more to the story, Jesse Ball spins a wildly inventive and emotionally powerful take of unjust conviction and lost love.
如何掌握資產價格轉勢的關鍵點？「投機之王」李佛摩（Jesse L﹒Livermore）唯一親撰的著作《獨步股壇》，揭示了這個秘訣！他在書中公開其自創、結合時間要素的追蹤股票及商品價格走勢方法，同時坦誠分享自己的成敗得失，一直被金融界視為必讀的投資經典。李佛摩不到三十歲便叱吒華爾街，曾在1929年美股大瀉時以9天大賺一億美元，被譽為最偉大的投機大師。他自有一套趨勢投資心法，至今仍不時被國際投資名家引用或詮釋，「債券大王」格羅斯（Bill Gross）亦視他為啟蒙老師。李佛摩在此書詳述如何判斷趨勢「關鍵點」的出現訊號，耐心等待確認升勢時分批下注，寧買當頭起，升勢時別貪小利而套現減持；相反當股價失去有動力，跌穿「關鍵點」，如判定為危險訊號，就要果斷沽貨，順勢而為。李佛摩以自身經驗告誡投資者，找到趨勢關鍵點，才不會錯過賺取巨額利潤的機會。本書除加添基金經理黃國英剖釋李佛摩投資心外，更邀請了對沖基金KOL Mila Yuen撰寫導讀。Mila奉行趨勢投資，從李佛摩身上總結出色投資者應具備特質，不只要經常檢討成敗，更要孤狼式獨立分析及操盤，避免錯信他人有意或無意的誤導，令投資回報因小失大。「李佛摩的操作辦法，無論牛市、熊市，也能駕御獲利。個人認為，如果投資界也有華山論劍的話，應該不離李佛摩、畢菲特、索羅斯、格羅斯及科斯托蘭尼。」――黃國英資產管理創辦人 黃國英、「美股隊長」吳瑞麟「李佛摩他整理了一套完整的股票操作技巧，並結合時間管理、資金管理，以及情緒管理。這套方法之所以歷久不衰，因為市場有些特性永遠不變，」――對沖基金交易員 Mila Yuen
