John Nicholas Datesh

    Autor, ktorý kedysi pôsobil v oblasti práva a podnikania, opustil tieto kariéry, aby sa mohol venovať písaniu fikcie. Jeho diela často čerpajú inšpiráciu z reálnych životných skúseností, od opakujúcich sa snov po skutočné nevyriešené udalosti, ktoré sa mu prihodili. Mnohé z jeho príbehov sa odohrávajú v prostredí, ktoré dobre pozná, a zahŕňajú prvky záhad, nadprirodzených javov a napínavých zápletiek. Svoje postavy umiestňuje do zložitých situácií, kde sa prelínajú témy lásky, peňazí a zločinu, často s prekvapivými zvratmi.

      Very pretty, very rich Diana Winter practically begged Casey Carmichael to find her father's murderer. A softball, like no PI ever got. Her very dumb fiance Tony Hiller had been recorded, over the phone, very much killing her father. And the fiance very conveniently confessed. Carmichael had the time and he needed the fee. The client wore big pleading eyes, had a ton of money and needed all the reassurance Carmichael could manage. Throw in Janice Simmons, a stunning reporter hot on the case, if he needed more convincing. All he had to do was go through the motions, check the octave of the recorded confession, go to the nearest bank and cash in on Diana's guilt. So, Carmichael did all the above. It went great. Diana didn't hate him much. Shrink-drugged Tony didn't much care. Janice? She wasn't much sure. But still, nice job. Only, a couple stray observations... okay, call them clues... bugged him. If errant clues meant anything at all, Carmichael had completely blown it, misreading one murder and leaving a two-faced killer free to kill some more."
