韓國暢銷作家丁柚井英譯作品
天亮了,似乎透著一絲血腥味。才發現自己渾身是血。
媽媽在樓下睡著。
媽媽動也不動,喉頭被切開一道口,渾身冷冰冰的。
佑真在房間裡找到一把剃刀,一把帶著血的剃刀。昨天到底發生什麼事了?想不起來,腦子一片空白。還是該問問那個和自己沒有血緣關係的兄弟?那位媽媽一直比較寵愛的兄弟。
同時間,南韓年輕女孩失蹤案件層出不窮,這和佑真的媽媽成為一具冰冷死屍似乎有某種關聯。
佑真把現場整理乾淨,決定自己揪出兇手。他一步步逼近真相,發現真相如此駭人,他知道的自己,他認識的媽媽,原來都不如他所想。

The Talented Mr. Ripley meets The Bad Seed in this breathless, chilling psychological thriller by the #1 international bestselling novelist known as “Korea’s Stephen King”
Who can you trust if you can’t trust yourself?
Early one morning, twenty-six-year-old Yu-jin wakes up to a strange metallic smell, and a phone call from his brother asking if everything’s all right at home – he missed a call from their mother in the middle of the night. Yu-jin soon discovers her murdered body, lying in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs of their stylish Seoul duplex. He can’t remember much about the night before; having suffered from seizures for most of his life, Yu-jin often has trouble with his memory. All he has is a faint impression of his mother calling his name. But was she calling for help? Or begging for her life?
Thus begins Yu-jin’s frantic three-day search to uncover what happened that night, and to finally learn the truth about himself and his family. A shocking and addictive psychological thriller, The Good Son explores the mysteries of mind and memory, and the twisted relationship between a mother and son, with incredible urgency.
