内容説明
'Parker has only one competitor -- Thomas Harris' Washington Post ! At once horrifying, tense and lyrical, The Blue Hour is a beautifully written novel that probes the darkest recesses of the human psyche. He takes the women from shopping malls. They are beautiful, sophisticated, but he treats them like animals, and when he's done he leaves only his grisly signature to taunt the Orange County police -- a purse full of entrails. Where are the bodies? How can these women disappear so completely? Whatever the Purse Snatcher has done to them, it surely cannot be worse than the imaginings of a shock-hardened police force!but they don't know the sick mind they're dealing with. Detective Hess has given his life to the police, but now lung cancer is looking to claim him. Merci Rayborn is at the beginning of her career and she's determined to get to the top, whatever it takes. Assigned to the case by a boss with a hidden agenda, Hess and Merci at first agree on just one thing: they want to catch the Purse Snatcher and see him fry. But as another woman disappears, and then another, they become united through their obsession with a case that will change both their lives forever.

おもな登場人物3人の脳内散歩の物語です。読者は登場人物の脳の中から、その目を通して見た情景を読み進んでいきます。ですから、休みなく場面が展開し、『サイレント・ジョー』とはまったく違う読後感。読み始めたら一気に読了。くれぐれも下巻を寝る前に読み始めるのはやめましょう。
訳者あとがきにあるように、「クライムノベル最高傑作（あの作品）へのオマージュとしたい」とあるので、かの大作に似ている印象はありますが、それを脇において、女刑事マーシが活躍するシリーズを追っかけたくなります。

若い女性を誘拐し、彼女の血を抜いた上で死体を持ち去るという異常な連続殺人事件を、肺がんを患い半分引退している老警官と、彼と娘ほど年の違う若い女性警官とがコンビを組んで捜査にあたる。この事件に昔の婦女暴行犯の話が絡み、さらに2人の人間関係の進展も織り込まれながら、ストーリは比較的ゆっくりとしたペースで展開していく。最後の方で意外性のある大きな展開があり、また病魔と戦いながら事件解決にあたる主人公の心情もよく書かれているが、話の中盤のテンポが遅く、少々退屈させられる。同じ作者の作品で、最近話題になったSilent Joeに比べると、ストーリーの構成、テンポの速さの点で今ひとつと言わざるを得ない。英語の難しさは中程度。

Extraordinary!

This is the first time I've had the pleasure of reading one of Parker's books. I was impressed. This was not only a riveting and complex murder mystery, but the choice of two very opposite lead characters was a masterful stroke. Tim Hess, a 67 yr. old semi-retired detective is in the twilight of his life. He's recovered from surgery for lung cancer and is undergoing a very draining course of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Merci Rayborn is in her 30's, a brash,ambitious offficer who is having some problems in the Department after filing a long overdue sexual harassment charge against a fellow cop. Tim's boss asks him to work with Merci on a missing persons case where the only clues found are the victims' purses, blood soaked ground, and parts of human intestines--but no bodies. Merci lays down the ground rules. It's her case and she's in charge. As the two gradually mesh together, Tim tries to help Merci by giving her the benefits of his years of experience. At first, all she sees is a dying older cop she's been partnered with, but her growth begins as she comes to know and admire him for his vast knowledge and dedication to the job and his courage in dealing with his illness. Merci soon finds herself enjoying Tim's company, sharing meals and offtime with him, and looking at him with new respect and genuine affection. Their relationship is one of the aspects that sets this story apart from other serial murder mysteries. THE BLUE HOUR should go to the top of your reading list if you enjoy an unusual and innovative thriller, with an ending that leaves you with a lump in your throat and an appreciation of a well written keeper to add to your collection of outstanding books.

Another great Parker novel. He gets better all the time.....
1999/12/30
I have read all of his books, and I can say like 'Where Serpents Lie', The Blue Hour is a real page turner....So much so, that I finished the book in about 2 days.
What is so amazing about his novels is his character development. His characters are not cookie-cutter super detectives, but real people with real problems, sometimes even tragic problems. This lends a lot more to a stories credability. In addition, being a resident of Southern California, I know many of the places he writes about, and he nails them to a 'Tee'.
I have noticed that Mr. Parkers novels as of late have taken a darker tone to them. The more horrific side of homicide, almost tickled the musings of Rod Serling. No, this is not fantasy like the Twighlight Zone, but the crimes are bizarre and so real...
The Blue Hour had many plot twists near the end and reached a climatic stage that really made you want to read faster and placed you right in the middle of things. The nice (or not so nice thing) is that Mr. Parkers novel's always have an unexpected ending, and they are not always happy endings!
Why this didn't rate 5 stars in my eyes is that there were two incidents in the book I had a hard time getting over: 1) The very end <didn't quite understand the relevance>, and a brief interlude about 2/3rds of the way through that sets up the very end. I think it was somewhat unlikely, though possible.
Also, anyone out there that knows how I can get in touch with Hyperion Books for fan mail to Mr. Parker, please let me know. Looking forward to his next novel 'The Red Light'

Absolutely Wonderful!

I typically get all fired up and write a review on a book I can't stand. I'm finally writing one for a book I loved. This is one marvelous read. It works wonderfully as a thriller but it's the depth of the characters that really makes this a special book. On top of that Parker has a great way of creatively moving the story along that keeps you guessing right up to the end. Merci Rayborn's character is not very likeable yet she never becomes annoying. She's argumentative and abrasive and completely tactless and non political but the truth is that I know many people just like that...including me! She often say's just what I had been thinking. I was hoping that she would grow up a little bit and be less self absorbed, sort of my wish for myself as well. I found this book after discoving T Jefferson Parker with Silent Joe, which I also loved, and I've become a confirmed fan! He is truly gifted and it'll be fun to continue reading his books.
