　　「一如既往的，九把刀的文字有著王家衛電影天馬行空的畫面，有著不按常規的跳躍，依然是不到最後不知道結局……」——陳怡蓉

　　「殺手是一個很迷人的似真似虛幻的世界，不過這集好想比前兩集更血腥，我想到之前讓我印象深刻的《樓下的房客》，血腥之餘不忘了赤裸地呈現人性的黑暗面……讚！我喜歡！」——鄭元暢

以正義為藉，誰是你最想殺的人？

　　在本書中九把刀用犯罪小說的體裁巧妙結合時事，以驚悚的角度探討正義。特別的是有別於先前《殺手》系列，用更具深度的社會觀察剖析媒體的亂象。

佐以九把刀最擅長的電影運境般敘事美學，調配出一杯九把刀眾多創作類型中獨樹一格的『殺手特調』：不信正義，信命運的殺手經紀人、看報買兇，十步一殺的大企業家，以及著迷成名，殺胎送縫貓的殺人魔……一堆活在繽紛媒體裡的癡人，編織出一場以天為名的狂風暴雨。

　　睽違上一本《殺手，風華絕代的正義》已近一年的時間，九把刀費盡心思才醞釀出全新的《殺手，夙興夜寐的犯罪》。在其中不難看出九把刀再度不落俗套的風格轉換與成長。節奏流暢，絕對出乎意料的劇情發展，像不定時炸藥般挑動那名為『戰慄』的神經，卻又令人忍不住繼續被劇情給吸引而無法掩卷。毫無疑問地，本書將是九把刀即將入伍前，最令讀者期待的九把刀經典代表作！

不信正義，信命運的殺手經紀人。

Reviews

[Mizuki · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author of this Killer series did it again! I admire how the guy manages to think out of the box and creates interesting stories so much!

Story no.1

An agent who has a handful of skillful hitmen/hitwomen-for-hire, encounters one of the richest businessmen in Taiwan, the rich man pays to get one of his sons killed, and right after the job is done, the rich man comes back to the agent again...to hire him to kill even more people...soon enough the high ranking hitmen/hitwomen in the city are busy going around killing off the unpunished bad guys in the society. How will it end?

Story no. 2

At around the same time, a sadistic psychopathic serial killer is cutting up and killing people---but not before he cut up their wombs/stomachs and stuff a living kitten into the victims' bodies. Police must go in for investigation and try to stop the killer, meanwhile...the killer is seeking professional help in order to establish himself as the First Ever Ritual Serial Killer in the history of Taiwan because he doesn't know how to put in-depth meanings into his deeds?

Favorite quotes:

"Being a hitman means you must kill whoever you had been assigned to kill, and do remember to keep yourself in good spirit when you're at it."

"All those Hollywood slasher movies prove that there always is a sick, evil mother beyond every single psychopathic murderer.
