SHALLOW/浅水

<p>SHALLOW serves as both the book's title and the setting where all events unfold. Two seemingly unrelated storylines-one following a pair of lovers the other a police mentor and protege-converge at the scene of a car accident. Here all conflicts and character relationships intersect leading to the unmasking of a serial killer. The interweaving of reality and illusion makes the story intricate and elusive. The love depicted in the novel is neither as resolute nor as radiant as it might first appear. When the mystery is finally unraveled love reveals another more sinister visage.</p><p>《浅水》既是书名，也是书中一切事件发生的地点。一对恋人、一对警察师徒，两条看似不相关的人物线索，在一场车祸案中，所有矛盾以及人物关系产生交集，引出连环杀人犯。现实与幻念的交织让故事扑朔迷离，小说中的爱情既没有那么义无反顾，也没有那么熠熠生辉，当谜底揭开，爱情显露出另外一副狰狞面孔。</p>
