Burt Weissbourd Bücher
Burt Weissbourd wird für sein literarisches Talent und seine tiefen psychologischen Einblicke, die aus seinem akademischen Hintergrund und seinen vielfältigen Lebenserfahrungen stammen, gefeiert. Seine Prosa zeichnet sich durch durchdachte Konstruktion und eine fesselnde Fähigkeit aus, den Leser in komplexe menschliche Dynamiken einzutauchen. Weissbourd erforscht Themen, die sich mit dem Kern von Motivation und Verhalten befassen und oft unerwartete Wendungen einweben. Seine Erzählungen bieten eine scharfsinnige Untersuchung der komplizierten Dilemmata des modernen Lebens.
Celebrated Seattle restaurateur Callie James is more than a little thrown when her ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, shows up after fourteen years asking for her help. Even more disturbing: as she throws him out, Daniel is deliberately hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant--broken, bloody and unconscious. He flees from the hospital and breaks into Callie's apartment, where he passes out. Reluctantly, Callie hides him. When she gets back to her restaurant, two assassins walk in, insisting that she find Daniel for them by tonight or pay the consequences. Overwhelmed and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan, her former bartender, a man she had arrested for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, and who still hasn't forgiven her. The assassins blow up her restaurant. It's Callie's nightmare. And the worst is yet to come as she and her unlikely, incompatible ally discover that the most perilous dangers are far closer to home than they'd imagined.
