Someone will do anything to keep Laura away from the awful truth - and she has no idea who she can trust ...

Twenty years ago, four teenagers at summer camp walked into the woods at night. Two were found murdered, and the others were never seen again. Four families had their lives changed forever. Now, two decades later, they are about to change again.
For Paul Copeland, the county prosecutor of Essex, New Jersey, mourning the loss of his sister has only recently begun to subside. Cope, as he is known, is now dealing with raising his six- year-old daughter as a single father after his wife has died of cancer. Balancing family life and a rapidly ascending career as a prosecutor distracts him from his past traumas, but only for so long. When a homicide victim is found with evidence linking him to Cope, the well-buried secrets of the prosecutor’s family are threatened.
Is this homicide victim one of the campers who disappeared with his sister? Could his sister be alive? Cope has to confront so much he left behind that summer twenty years ago: his first love, Lucy; his mother, who abandoned the family; and the secrets that his Russian parents might have been hiding even from their own children. Cope must decide what is better left hidden in the dark and what truths can be brought to the light.

《螺丝在拧紧》是亨利·詹姆斯最重要的中篇小说之一，也是凝聚了其高超的中篇小说艺术魅力的一部作品。圣诞前夜，几个朋友围坐炉旁，百无聊赖地讲起了自己听到的鬼故事。其中一个人说到郊外一个家庭女教师受到鬼怪困扰的故事。一切看来稀松平常，但一切在亨利·詹姆斯笔下却变得生动精致起来：只有家庭女教师能够见到“它们”；只有她怀疑先前的女教师因为某种邪恶的动机正在控制着庄园当中的两个孩子。所有的人都认为她疯了，两个孩子却对此讳莫如深。为什么小女孩始终不承认清清楚楚立在湖岸边的人影？是小女孩儿被迷惑了，还是女教师在妄想？作者并不急于马上揭示答案，但是脊背在发凉，螺丝在拧紧……

Cornwall 1818. We continue the tale of Ross and Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan, whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross and George; of Bella, the Poldark's youngest daughter, whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame, Christopher Havergal, and by a distinguished French conductor, who has more in mind than Bella's music; of Clowance, the Poldark's widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and, of a murderer who stalks the villages of west Cornwall. 'From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands, transported by Graham's atmospheric prose back to 1818 and the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall' - "Daily Mail".

Cornwall 1815. Demelza sees a horseman riding down the valley and senses disruption to the domestic contentment she has fought so hard to achieve. For Ross has little option but to accept the summons - and travel to Paris with his family, as an 'observer' of the French armed forces. Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks, and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

Cornwall 1813. A silver cup lies half-forgotten in a dark cave, amongst a pile of stolen goods. Yet the tiny vessel and its inscription 'Amor gignit amorem' haunts the lives of the still-feuding Poldark and Warleggan families, as Ross, Demelza and the ambitious and powerful Sir George Warleggan watch their children make the decisions that will shape their destinies. In the closing years of the wars against Napoleon, for Jeremy and Clowance, and for arrogant, cynical Valentine Warleggan, these are troubled and momentous times. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, and then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

Cornwall 1812. At Nampara, the Poldark family finds the new year brings involvement in more than one unexpected venture. For Ross and Demelza there is some surprising - and worrying - news. And Clowance, newly returned from her London triumphs, finds that her entanglement with Stephen Carrington brings not only happiness but heartache. As the armies battle in Spain, and the political situation at home becomes daily more obscure, the Poldark and Warleggan families find themselves thrust into a turbulent new era as complex and changing as the patterns of The Miller's Dance. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

Cornwall 1810. The Poldark family awaits the return of Ross from his mission to Wellington's army in Portugal. But their ordered existence ends with Jeremy Poldark's dramatic rescue of The Stranger from the Sea. Stephen Carrington's arrival in the Poldark household changes all their lives. For Clowance and Jeremy in particular, the children of Ross and Demelza, Stephen's advent is the key to a new world - one of both love and danger. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

Cornwall, towards the end of the 18th century. Ross Poldark sits for the borough of Truro as Member of Parliment - his time divided between London and Cornwall, his heart divided about his wife, Demelza. His old feud with George Warleggan still flares - as does the illicit love between Morwenna and Drake, Demelza's brother. Before the new century dawns, George and Ross will be drawn together by a loss greater than their rivalry - and Morwenna and Drake by a tragedy that brings them hope...' From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

与谋杀者的通信，与生死彼岸的通信，与不可能的爱情的通信，与叵测命运的通信。通信串起十九年的时间，串起愤怒、悲伤、不甘和眷恋，也串起了一宗又一宗的谋杀事件。当柳絮看见谋杀于面前上演，以为是一切悲剧的开始。实际上，她踏进了一条暗河的中游，无论是向上追溯，还是顺流而下，都布满 了死亡的漩涡。

Cornwall 1795 -1799. Although Ross Poldark now something of a war hero seems secure in his hard-won prosperity, a new dilemma faces him in the sudden infatuation of a young naval officer for his wide Demelza. All four women the four swans whose lives touch Ross's face a crisis in these years. For his wide Demelza, his old love Elizabeth, for his friend's new wife Caroline and for the unhappy Morwenna Chynoweth these are times of stress and conflict. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, and then a whole lot more.' Guardian

Cornwall 1794. The birth of a son to Elizabeth and George Warleggan serves only to accentuate the rift between the Poldark and Warleggan families. And when Morwenna Chynoweth, now governess to Elizabeth's eldest son, grows to love Drake Carne, Demelza's brother, the enduring rivalry between George and Ross finds a new focus for bitter enmity and conflict. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

Cornwall 1792. Ross plunges into a highly speculative mining venture which threatens not only his family's financial security but also his turbulent marriage to Demelza. When Ross and Elizabeth's old attraction rekindles itself, Demelza retaliates by becoming dangerously involved with a handsome Scottish cavalry officer. With bankruptcy an increasingly real possibility, the Poldarks seem to be facing disaster on all fronts. 'From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that everyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

'From the incomparable Winston Graham. who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' - "Guardian".

作品主人公约翰·克里斯朵夫出生在德国莱茵河畔一个小城市的穷音乐师家庭里。其祖父和父亲都曾是公爵的御用乐师，但此时家庭已经败落。老祖父很喜欢小克里斯朵夫，向他灌输了不少英雄创造世界的观念，这使他从小就产生了要当大人物的想法。

克里斯朵夫在父亲的严格管教下学习音乐，他早熟的音乐天赋引起了祖父的注意。祖父暗地里把他随口而出的片断缀成乐曲，题名为《童年遣兴》献给了公爵。小克里斯朵夫被邀请到公爵府演奏，被夸赞为“在世的莫扎特”。11岁那年，他被任命为宫廷音乐联合会的第二小提琴手。眼看孙子有了出息，祖父在欣慰中去世了。然而，他的家境愈发败落了，父亲整日酗酒，养家的重任过早地落到了他的肩上。克里斯朵夫在附近的一家豪宅找了一份教钢琴的兼职工作，并与和他年纪相仿的学生弥娜之间相互产生了好感，但在遭到弥娜母亲的一番奚落后愤然离开。此时，父亲也去世了。克里斯朵夫的童年也就这样结束了。

此后，克里斯朵夫经历了两次失败的爱情，他的心绪烦乱，意志更见消沉，整天和一帮不三不四的人在酒馆里泡。在这个时候，自小就教他安贫乐道、真诚谦虚的舅父再一次指引他走出了情绪的低谷，使他重新振作起来。有一次，克里斯朵夫去听音乐会，他忽然感觉到观众都是百无聊赖，而演奏也是毫无生气。他回到家里，把他所景仰的几位音乐大师的作品拿出来看，竟发现其中同样充满了虚伪和造作。桀骜不驯的克里斯朵夫随即发表了对大师们的反面意见。结果可想而知，他失去了公爵的宠爱，把他所在的乐队和观众也全部得罪了。一个星期日，他在酒馆里借酒浇愁时替一位姑娘打抱不平，和一帮大兵发生冲突闯下大祸，他只好逃到巴黎去避难。

在巴黎，克里斯朵夫陷人了生活的困境之中。最后，他终于在一个汽车制造商家里找到了一个教钢琴的工作。制造商善良的外甥女葛拉齐亚对他的命运充满了同情。克里斯朵夫继续着他的音乐创作，他用交响诗的形式写成了一幕音乐剧。然而，他拒绝一个声音庸俗肉麻的女演员演出自己的音乐剧，又给自己惹了麻烦，演出被人捣乱搞得一团糟糕，他气愤得中途退场。由于这次不成功的音乐会，他教课的几份差事也丢了，生活又一次陷入窘境。深爱他的葛拉齐亚因无法帮助他而伤心地离开巴黎回到了故乡。

在一个音乐会上，克里斯朵夫结识了青年诗人奥里维，二人一见如故，从此住到一起。不久，克里斯朵夫创作的《大卫》出版了，他再次赢得了“天才”的称号，生活也出现了转机。但不谙世故的克里斯朵夫仍被人利用，卷人一个又一个是非之争，逐渐身心疲惫，狼狈不堪，幸得葛拉齐亚的暗中帮忙，他才又—次脱身。然而，在一次“五一”节示威游行中，他的好友奥里维死于军警的乱刀之下，他出于自卫也打死了警察，最后不得不逃亡瑞士。

在瑞士，克里斯朵夫思念亡友，悲痛欲绝。一个夏日的傍晚，他外出散步时与丧夫的葛拉齐亚不期而遇，两人沉浸在重逢的喜悦中。然而，由于葛拉齐亚的儿子仇视克里斯朵夫，二人始终无法结合。

岁月流逝，克里斯朵夫老了，葛拉齐亚去世了，充满激情与斗争的生活也遥远了。当克里斯朵夫从瑞士的隐居生活重新回到法国的社会生活中时。他的反抗精神已完全消失，他甚至和敌人也和解了，并反过来讥讽像他当年那样反抗社会的新一代。晚年，他避居意大利，专心致力于宗教音乐的创作，不问世事，完全变成了一个世故老人，进入了所谓“清明高远的境界”。
