超越國界的澳洲懸疑小說英國犯罪作家協會新血匕首獎得主、國際暢銷犯罪小說家克里斯‧漢默直探小鎮黑暗深淵的極品之作澳洲圖書產業獎ABIA入圍英國犯罪作家協會CWA金匕首獎入圍週日泰唔士報年度犯罪小說「在犯罪寫作的世界中帶來傑出的新版本。」──《文學評論》（Literary Review）娜塔莎‧庫珀（Natasha Cooper）潔白燈塔照出他嶄新的未來，也映射出如暗影的屍體血泊。剛萌芽卻沾血的戀情遭遇不明凶殺的摯友宛如夢魘的童年陰影混入毒物的宗教盛宴記者馬汀．史卡斯頓回到他成長的銀港鎮，準備與女友展開全新的生活，怎料一樁難解的凶案卻發生在兩人的新家，而死者竟是史卡斯頓少時的摯友。為了擺脫兩人的嫌疑，史卡斯頓開始尋求真相，也亟欲釐清死者手上緊握的照片緣由，沒想到卻是深陷一團又一團迷霧的開端。《銀港之死》是《烈火荒原》的續作。《烈火荒原》當時為克里斯‧漢默拿下英國犯罪作家協會New Blood匕首獎，《銀港之死》甫出版也造成轟動，甚至有書評家認為此作更加迷人。由於每部聚焦在不同地點與案件，完全可以單獨閱讀，感受人物在不同場景之間轉換的精湛描繪。銀港鎮由於是主角童年的所在之地，他破碎家庭的暗影，都一一毫無預警襲來。在他偵破懸案的同時，也一探宛如迷宮的內心世界。同時作者也生動寫出澳洲的沿海小鎮風情，彷彿能嗅聞到海的氣息、炸魚薯條的香氣，並感受大雨將至前的騷動。漢默曾擔任資深記者，書中融合了與警方時而鬥智、時而合作的細節，呈現媒體人追尋新聞的緊湊氛圍。然而最後還是要回歸到內心深處的叩問，究竟追凶破案是最為優先，還是仍該適時放下對於一切的懷疑，學習信任身邊的摯愛？「馬汀．史卡斯頓」系列使得漢默成為澳洲最知名的犯罪小說家，並突破國界，暢銷全球，是犯罪、懸疑小說領域必讀的作家之一。國內緝凶精選推薦冬陽（推理評論人）臥斧（文字工作者）陳雪（小說家）陳蕙慧（資深出版人）提子墨（犯罪小說作家）譚光磊（國際版權經紀人）國際好評數年來最佳的澳洲犯罪小說──《泰唔士報》（The Times）漢默是傑出的作家，澳洲黑色懸疑作品的先鋒。──美國犯罪小說作家麥可‧康奈利（Michael Connelly）「豐富地描繪，完美勾勒許多角色，一部令人沉浸、享受的小說，不辜負被賦予希望的前作。」──《衛報》每月選書「我覺得這部勝於前作。」──英國犯罪小說作家安‧克利夫斯（Ann Cleeves）「漢默鮮明地將
