J.K。羅琳首部成人小說打造古典懸疑

　　The much anticipated new novel from Harry Potter writer JK Rowling now has a cover. A Casual Vacancy, which will be published in September this year, is designed by Mario J Pulice and features an illustration and lettering by Joel Holland。

　　《哈利·波特》作者J.K。羅琳萬眾矚目的新書《臨時空缺》將于今年9月出版。新書封面現已揭曉，由馬里奧·J·普利斯設計，上面的插畫和文字出自喬爾·霍蘭德之手。

　　It will be the first novel Rowling has written which is aimed at adults. The plot centres on the town of Pagford: "A seemingly English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war", according to the book's publishers, Little Brown。

　　這是羅琳第一本以成年人為目標群體的小說。故事其中發生在派治福德小鎮：“表面看上去是一座英國田園小村莊，有一個鋪滿鵝卵石的市場，一座古老的修道院，但是在平靜假象的背后是激烈的斗爭?！背霭嫔绦〔祭使具@樣描述。

　　The town is left in shock after Barry Fairbrother dies in his early 40s and leaves an empty seat on the parish council。

　　小村中，巴里·費爾韋瑟四十出頭，就去世了。村民們震驚不已，同時，堂區執事的職位空了出來。

　　Rowling, 46, has amassed a fortune estimated to be more than £620 million from her seven Harry Potter books for children, plus all the spin-off rights。

　　憑借著七本《哈利·波特》兒童讀物和其他所有衍生產權，46歲的羅琳身價預計超過6.2億英鎊。

　　This will be her first novel since her final Potter book was published in 2007.

　　這本是自從她2007年出版《哈利·波特》完結本后的第一本小說。
