暗夜園丁

《時代雜誌》譽為「 2006年度五大推理小說大師之作」讚其為橫跨推理及文學小說之作。

1985年12月一個涼爽潮濕的傍晚，華盛頓特區的一座社區菜園發現一具黑人少女的屍體。少女頭部中彈，名字正拼反拼都一樣，是「迴文謀殺案」第三名被害人。重案組警探T．C．庫克、制服警察古斯．雷蒙與丹．哈立德都在犯罪現場。綽號「黯夜園丁」的兇手逍遙法外。
　
20年的光陰逝去，退休的庫克始終深受懸而未決的「迴文謀殺案」糾纏與折磨；丹．哈立德在一團違紀疑雲中離開警界，擔任司機兼保鏢；古斯．雷蒙升遷為重案組警探，是忠實的丈夫與父親。三人的命運本來已是平行線，直到華盛頓特區的一座菜園再度出現一具黑人少年的屍體......

少年頭部中彈，名字正拼反拼都一樣。是沉寂了20年後「黯夜園丁」再度出擊嗎？或只是懸案遺留的夢饜在作祟？20年後重聚的庫克、哈立德與雷蒙急欲破解20年前的懸案，一具失去生命的青春軀體，讓三人燃起熱情又活過了一次......

Gus Ramone is "good police," a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city's Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa whose body has been found in a local community garden.The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop twenty years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan "Doc" Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T. C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges, and now finds work as a bodyguard and driver. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the "Night Gardener" killings.The new case draws the three men together on a grim mission to finish the work that has haunted them for years. All the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them comes rushing back, and old ghosts walk once more as the men try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams. Bigger and even more unstoppable than his previous thrillers, George Pelecanos achieves in THE NIGHT GARDENER what his brilliant career has been building toward: a novel that is a perfect union of suspense, character, and unstoppable fate.
