Bea Davenport

    Bea Davenportová, jejíž skutečné jméno je Barbara Hendersonová, je autorkou, která do světa literatury vnáší bohaté zkušenosti novinářky. Její díla se často noří do temných zákoutí lidské psychiky a napětí, zkoumají složité zápletky a drží čtenáře v napětí. Davenportová využívá svůj pronikavý pohled, vypilovaný během let v tisku a rozhlasu, k vytváření realistických postav a poutavých příběhů, které odrážejí hluboké pochopení lidského chování. Prostřednictvím svého propracovaného stylu a mistrovského budování napětí si Davenportová získala místo mezi současnými autory detektivních a napínavých žánrů.
