Hillary Bell Locke

    Hillary Bell Locke ist eine Autorin, deren Werke sich mit den Feinheiten des modernen Lebens auseinandersetzen. Ihre Schriften erforschen oft die Spannungen zwischen persönlichen Bestrebungen und gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen und nutzen aufschlussreiche Introspektion und sorgfältig gezeichnete Charaktere, um die menschliche Verfassung zu untersuchen. Lockes Stil zeichnet sich durch seine elegante Einfachheit und seine Fähigkeit aus, durch zurückhaltende Beobachtungen tiefe Emotionen hervorzurufen. Die Leser wenden sich ihren Geschichten wegen ihrer Ehrlichkeit und der Art und Weise zu, wie sie die Nuancen menschlicher Beziehungen und die Suche nach Sinn in der Welt einfangen.

      Jay Davidovich is a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan because he joined the National Guard in the late ‘nineties so that the taxpayers could put him through college. Nine-eleven took him by surprise – “sort of like Bush,” as Jay puts it. His job at Trans/Oxana is to prevent losses that Trans/Oxana has insured against – especially losses that unpleasant people want to happen. After Hollywood pretty boy Kent Trowbridge plays late-night bumper-car in his Ferrari, which bought an eight-figure Trans/Oxana policy insuring performance of Trowbridge’s Major Performing Artist Contract. Jay quickly realizes that Trowbrigde is going to do some county time. Because there won’t be any director yelling “CUT!” when things get dicey on the inside, Jay figures that Trowbridge won’t be in shape to perform anything once he gets out unless Jay finds him a Jail Coach. Enter Katrina Thompson whose past includes jail, the Marines, a daughter, and a hustler named Stan Chaladian. The first will help Jay, the second will impress him, the third will charm him, and the fourth with almost kill him – that’s life in the Loss Prevention business.
