4. Colin Harrison, You Belong to Me
《你是我的》科林·哈里森

Harrison's encyclopedic knowledge of New York, his noirish genius and his storytelling chops are on fine display in this new thriller about immigration lawyer Paul Reeves and the couple who live across the hall, a blonde American beauty named Jennifer and her wealthy Iranian-American husband Ahmed. Reeves is twice divorced and focused mostly on his passion for old maps of New York, which he stores in his apartment and his family home in Brooklyn. Jennifer tags along with him to Christie's one day while Ahmed is out of the country on business, and Reeves witnesses her surprise at spotting a blond man in desert-coloured soldier's fatigues staring at her. She leaves with the man. And so begins the unwinding of a marriage, with tragic consequences for the men in Jennifer's life. (Credit: Sarah Crichton Books/Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
