Andrew Klavan

    13. Juli 1954

    Andrew Klavan ist bekannt für seine packenden Thriller, die sich mit den Komplexitäten der menschlichen Natur und Moral auseinandersetzen. Seine Erzählungen erforschen oft die verschwimmenden Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse und fordern die Leser heraus, ihre eigenen Vorstellungen von Gerechtigkeit und Wahrheit zu hinterfragen. Klavan versteht es meisterhaft, spannungsgeladene Handlungsstränge zu entwickeln, die er mit tiefgründigen philosophischen Ansätzen und scharfer psychologischer Einsicht durchdringt, was die Leser fesselt. Seine Werke dringen konsequent in die dunkleren Aspekte der menschlichen Psyche ein und machen ihn zu einer bedeutenden Stimme in der zeitgenössischen Suspense-Literatur.

      Zasněžené městečko skrývá příběh, který měl navždy zůstat tajemstvím. Městečko Sweet Haven působí jako malebný výjev z vánoční pohlednice. Tiše padající sníh, okna domů ozářená stovkami vánočních světýlek, vysoká kostelní věž a tajemné jezero lemované kopci. Na první pohled ztělesnění klidu a ducha Vánoc. A na ten druhý? Semknutá komunita rodin, do jejichž spořádaného života právě udeřil blesk z čistého nebe. Až příliš dokonalou atmosférou městečka otřásla vražda oblíbené mladé knihovnice. A ještě mnohem více to, že se k činu přizná její milenec Travis Blake –? válečný hrdina s bezchybnou minulostí, díky níž se obyvatelé městečka zdráhají jeho čin jednoznačně odsuzovat. Na žádost právničky Victorie tak na scénu vstupuje Cameron Winter, samotářský profesor anglické literatury s traumatickou minulostí a zvláštním darem vidět pod povrch zločinů stejně hluboko, jako do duše pachatele. Podaří se mu zahnat vlastní démony a odhalit pravdu tam, kde ostatní selhávají?
