2.Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes
《半身怪獸》作者：Lauren Beukes

A detective stumbles upon a super-unsettling scene -- a victim's body seems to have been fused together with animal parts, making him part human, part woodland creature. The detective's daughter is busy chatting with the suspected killer online. The book is set in Detroit, and the characters, like the city, bravely try to hold themselves together in the face of danger.
一位偵探恰好撞見了某一案發(fā)現(xiàn)場，其間情境觸目驚心——一位死者的尸體被人將它和動物的肢體縫在了一起，讓尸體成為了一個半人半獸的怪物。而偵探的女兒又傾慕于殺人的嫌疑犯，常常在網(wǎng)上跟他聊天。小說背景設置在底特律，故事中的角色都非常具有城市氣質(zhì)，能在危險面前鼓起勇氣，保持淡定。
