Hillary Bell Locke

    Hillary Bell Locke je autorkou, jejíž díla se noří do složitostí moderního života. Její psaní často zkoumá napětí mezi osobními aspiracemi a společenskými očekáváními, přičemž využívá pronikavou introspekci a pečlivě vykreslené postavy k prozkoumání lidské duše. Lockeho styl je charakteristický svou elegantní jednoduchostí a schopností vyvolat hluboké emoce prostřednictvím nenápadných pozorování. Čtenáři se obracejí k jejím příběhům pro jejich upřímnost a pro způsob, jakým zachycuje nuance mezilidských vztahů a hledání smyslu ve světě.

      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.
