作者：禾田 2005-04-02 13:46:10 邮差总敲两次门 在命运之神冥冥的操控下，人性的把握是一个有多大限度的挣扎。当命运之神出奇地宽容，人的本性又是如何地将之躏踏。网无所不网，也许你并不想去了解，其实了解了对你并没有多大的好处、其实了不了解对你的生活并没有太大的影响。如果你还有兴趣想听一听的话，我来跟你讲一讲这样的一本小说，作者是美国的小说硬派大师：詹姆斯·凯恩（1892-1977），小说《邮差总敲两次门》是他的成名作，作家也因此被称为黑色浪漫小说的艺术巨匠。 《邮差总敲两次门》(The postman always rings twice) 讲述了一个年轻流浪汉弗兰克为得到美丽的老板娘科拉，而老板娘科拉又想摆脱她的墨西哥丈夫，于是两人共同谋划了一起交通事故杀死老板。老板被杀死了，两人也因此被捕。在庭审阶段，所有的爱与承诺都变得软弱无力，深涵心理的检察官与律师牢牢地控制着审判的局面，而局面又最终被以金钱利益为中心的保险公司所牢牢控制，于是，两人奇迹般地死里逃生，开始了向往的自由生活。但是，真正的二人世界并未使预想中的爱情更加地伟大，一次律师的敲诈被他们共同击退，一次婚外情却让他们彻底地绝裂。在现实种种的压力下，爱显得脆弱。最后时刻，女方由于怀孕而给了爱情最后一次机会，两人一起来到海里游泳，这既是一次复合的机会，也提供了“深海溺水”这样一个死亡的借口，以让伪善背后的邪恶从容地出现。最终，是大海与孩子的感召，两人重新走回一起。心绪随情节起伏，紧绷的弦终于为爱舒了一口气，可这时，命运再次弄人，在送夫人往医院生产途中，发生了意外车祸，女人死了。命运的邮差敲响了第二次门，男人因此被无辜地认定为故意杀人罪而判以极刑。这里爱与人性的刻画也让人感到震撼。爱情的突然与热烈；在生存危机中爱情的孤告无力，爱恨交加，由爱转恨。 读到这里，天网恢恢的感觉反而不是对于公正的法律而言，深切感到命数的轮回与现实的儿戏。小说的魅力在于此，虚构的情节，让邪恶溜走，将美丽抹杀。想他死的时候他不死，想他活的时候却又将其送离了人间。人间的真相本非我等所能参透，从不同的角度探求得出不同的观感。有些是点与面的不同，有些只能留待时间去慢慢地考证。在相对时空的应证下，人世间存留多少真正的繁华与永恒。邮差总敲两次门，我们可以去追求片面的欢乐，却更要叩问自我与人性的真实，如周国平语：“未经参省的人生不是真正的人生”。 回到本话题，小说写到这里，除了描述主人公命运的悲哀，更加痛斥的，是在资本现实社会下，所谓法律执行者们的奴性。他们所关心的，是他们的名利地位，即使真相对他们来说是一清二楚，即使法律对他们而言也是了如指掌，但那是工具而已，法律的公平与公正，是有代价的。 天网恢恢，不单指法律，更多的是指心灵的阴影，这，才是最终取人于无形。没有那次车祸，同样会有第二次的敲门。

有的人悲傷時會發火，有的人是默默出神，有的人寫奇怪的信，艾芙鈴．梅麗可則是到處打匿名電話；她的外表看來無異常人，卻比任何人都更具危險性。 她對人性的弱點知之甚詳，對不同的人，她採用不同的手段，針對個人特有的恐懼予以致命一擊，讓你毫無還手的餘地；她所憎恨的人就算能逃過一死，也必定會在心靈上留下永難磨滅的傷痕。 只是你所看見的她並不是她，她所看見的她也不是她…… 完全驚悚的陌生體驗，即將向你侵襲，請凝神靜候。

2017 film directed by Christopher B. Landon

In her most masterful novel of medical suspense, New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen creates a villain of unforgettable evil--and the one woman who can catch him before he kills again. He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. The precision of the killer's methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers and the frightened public to name him "The Surgeon." The cops' only clue rests with another surgeon, the victim of a nearly identical crime. Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault. Now she hides her fears of intimacy behind a cool and elegant exterior and a well-earned reputation as a top trauma surgeon. Cordell's careful facade is about to crack as this new killer recreates, with chilling accuracy, the details of Cordell's own ordeal. With every new murder he seems to be taunting her, cutting ever closer, from her hospital to her home. Her only comfort comes from Thomas Moore, the detective assigned to the case. But even Moore cannot protect Cordell from a brilliant hunter who somehow understands--and savors--the secret fears of every woman he kills. Filled with the authentic detail that is the trademark of this doctor turned author . . . and peopled with rich and complex characters--from the ER to the squad room to the city morgue--here is a thriller of unprecedented depth and suspense. Exposing the shocking link between those who kill and cure, punish and protect, The Surgeon is Tess Gerritsen's most exciting accomplishment yet.
