《有人不见了》内容简介

　　富商家的千金应邀乘豪华游艇出海，同船的是六名陌生人。

　　起航当晚，一段神秘录音揭露了众人昔日的罪行。船上的书架里有本旧小说，相继发生的种种异常，竟然和小说中的情节如出一辙。豪华游艇就像一间漂浮在茫茫大海上的密室，乘客则如同盘中泥偶，一个接一个消失。

　　窗外是无边无际的波涛，陆地似乎永远不会出现……

　　推理女王阿加莎•克里斯蒂用不朽名作《无人生还》创造了一座推理界的奇峰，引得后来的推理小说家纷纷前来致敬。他们手法翻新、倒转腾挪，用相似的设定玩出无数花样。致敬活动也就演变成了一场炫技大赛，当中不乏超越之作。夏树静子的《有人不见了》便是其中之一。在长长的致敬作名单上，《有人不见了》名列前三。

　　夏树静子的故事节奏紧凑，悬念环环相扣，紧张气氛步步紧逼，心理描摹入木三分，画面感极强。《有人不见了》可以说是一本“少女X的惊魂漂流日记”，令人脊背发凉的同时，也兼顾了对人性和社会问题的探讨；诡计之外，亦能发人深省。不论是否读过《无人生还》，都不妨碍我们投入《有人不见了》的圈套，感受这个构架在经典骗局之上的骗局带来的震撼。

　　作者简介

　　夏树静子（1938—），日本当代杰出作家，备受埃勒里•奎因推崇的日本推理大师，日本首位具备海外知名度的女性推理作家。

　　1969年，凭借《天使在消失》入围第15届江户川乱步奖决选。1973年，《蒸发》获第26届日本推理作家协会奖。1989年，《第三个女人》获法国犯罪小说大奖。2007年被授予推理文坛成就奖——第10届日本推理文学大奖，也是第一位荣膺此项大奖的女性推理作家。2010年，日本TBS电视台和朝日电视台为纪念“夏树静子•作家40年”分别推出《W的悲剧》和《天使在消失》特别剧，足见她在读者心中的地位。

　　作品以精彩绝伦的诡计为核心，辅以细腻复杂的情感描写，兼具解谜的乐趣与人性的关照。作者对于人物内心细微情感的精准把握，尤其是对女性纠结复杂的内心的生动描摹，在整个日本推理文坛也无人可及。
