Frances Fyfield

    18. listopad 1948

    Tato autorka, původně právnička specializující se na trestní právo, čerpá inspiraci ze svých rozsáhlých zkušeností v právním světě. Její díla se ponořují do hlubin lidské povahy a složitosti zločinu, často zasazena do malebných pobřežních krajin, které jsou její vášní. Prostřednictvím svého literárního talentu odhaluje psychologické motivace a morální dilemata postav s pronikavou přesností a poutavým stylem. Její próza je svědectvím o jejím hlubokém porozumění jak právnímu systému, tak lidskému srdci.

      In Shadow Play, Frances Fyfield hones her powers of writerly suspense to give us a sophisticated, psychologically gripping tale about crimes of the most twisted passions. The odd, vaguely menacing little man called Mr. Logo is a familiar figure in the old court building in London. Although frequently brought before the magistrate for indecent assault, he is invariably acquitted due to lack of evidence. He is especially familiar to Helen West, the take-no-prisoners Crown Prosecutor who has just failed for the fifth time to prosecute him. Now he is off-limits to her until his next appearance in court. Yet, when she befriends Rose, the young, compulsively secretive and promiscuous clerk in the office, Helen West unwittingly sets in motion events that will dangerously complicate her connection to Mr. Logo and push his rage and dark passion to lethal extremes.

      Shadow Play
    • With the skill and empathy which caused A.N. Wilson to describe her as 'the best female crime writer in this country', Frances Fyfield has produced an outstanding novel of the destruction of hatred and revenge.
