Chip Jacobs

    Chip Jacobs je autor a novinár, ktorého diela sa umiestňujú na zozname bestsellerov Los Angeles Times. Jeho písanie sa často zameriava na temnejšie stránky kalifornského života a odhaľuje skryté motivácie a ziskuchtivosť stojace za zdanlivo idylickými fasádami. Prostredníctvom historických románov aj publicistiky Jacobs skúma pohnútky ľudského konania a zložité spoločenské javy, často s ostrou kritikou a citom pre detail.
