今天清晨，在我被捕的几个小时之前，我被一场小地震震醒了。我提起这件事并不是想说这两件事之间有联系……因为在东京，每个月我们都要经历一次这样的地震。我只是在描述事情发生的顺序。那是一个不同寻常的日子，我不想忘记任何事情……

《地震鸟》的故事就这样开始了。这是一部令人难忘的，以日本为背景的小说。它在**页就呈现了一桩谋杀案，并将读者带入了主要犯罪嫌疑人Lucy Fly——一个年轻而脆弱的英国女孩，她在东京生活和从事翻译工作——的内心世界。当Lucy被警方讯问时，她向读者诉说了她的过去。

Lucy为什么在10年前离开英国去日本隐姓埋名？到底是什么促使她切断了与在英国的家人的一切联系？她是女孩被杀前最后一个见到她的人，那么为什么她没有更乐意提供她们最后一次见面的情况呢？随着Lucy故事的展开，我们才知道，她过去和现在的秘密一直困扰着她清醒着的每一天……

The Earthquake Bird is Susanna Jones's stunning, prize-winning first mystery - now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander.

Early this morning, several hours before my arrest, I was woken by an earth tremor. I mention the incident not to suggest that there was a connection. . . for in Tokyo we have a quake like this every month. I am simply relating the sequence of events as it happened. It has been an unusual day and I would hate to forget anything . . .

So begins The Earthquake Bird, a haunting novel set in Japan which reveals a murder on its first page and takes its readers into the mind of the chief suspect, Lucy Fly – a young, vulnerable English girl living and working in Tokyo as a translator. As Lucy is interrogated by the police she reveals her past to the reader, and it is a past which is dangerously ambiguous and compromising . . .

Why did Lucy leave England for the foreign anonymity of Japan ten years before, and what exactly prompted her to sever all links with her family back home? She was the last person to see the murdered girl alive, so why is she not more forthcoming about the circumstances of their last meeting? As Lucy’s story unfolds, it emerges that secrets, both past and present, obsess her waking life . . .
