Blake Karrington

    Blake Karrington je vypravěč, který své čtenáře staví do akčních momentů. Ve svých dílech často zasazuje děj na Jih, do městských prostředí, která jsou mainstreamem přehlížena. Skrze jeho pohled se však rychle naučíme, že místa jako Charlotte v Severní Karolíně mohou být stejně drsná, jak jen to jde. V těchto ulicích tohoto často přehlíženého světa Karrington vykresluje vrahy a zloděje jako uvěřitelné postavy, jimž bez soudu tká lidské příběhy, jež podávají přesvědčivé důvody pro volbu života zločinu. Jeho čtenáři popisují emocionální horskou dráhu, která vzniká při soucitu s empatickými postavami, jež se zdají vždy dělat špatné věci ve správnou chvíli, aby udržely příběh v pohybu. Morálka je v Karringtonových příbězích tak pokřivená, že fandění padouchům, aby se vyhnuli vraždě, může někdy připadat čtenáři jako správná věc, i když tomu tak není.
