Linda Green

    1. január 1970

    Tento autor už od mladosti inklinoval k písaniu, ktoré sa preňho stalo vášňou aj celoživotným poslaním. Prvé literárne pokusy sa objavili už v detstve, čoskoro nasledované prvým novinovým článkom v ranej puberte a úspechmi v žurnalistike. Po úspešnej kariére regionálneho novinára sa autor rozhodol plne venovať písaniu románov, napriek tomu, že cesta k publikovaniu bola lemovaná mnohými odmietnutiami. Tvorba literárnych diel je preňho hlboko osobný a transformačný proces, ktorý zdieľa s čitateľmi prostredníctvom pútavých príbehov.

      V okamihu môžete prísť o všetko! Silný a desivý príbeh, ktorý sa vám dostane pod kožu. Zavriete oči na pár sekúnd a zrúti sa vám celý svet. Lisa Dalová sa hrá so svojou dcérou na skrývačku v parku. Jeden, dva, tri… zatvorí oči a ráta do sto. No keď ich znova otvorí, jej štvorročná dcéra Ella je preč. Zmizla bez stopy. Tragédia naplno zasiahne celú rodinu. Po rozsiahlom policajnom vyšetrovaní si nielen polícia, ale aj médiá myslia, že vedia, kto Ellu uniesol. No prečo sa nebránila a nekričala? Čo ak únoscu poznala? Lisu načisto ochromil strach, bojí sa, že svoju dcéru už nikdy neuvidí. Ak prídete o dieťa, najprv si to uvedomí vaše telo, hlave to dôjde až neskôr. Pretrhne sa neviditeľná pupočná šnúra medzi vami. Mozog zaznamená, čo sa deje, až keď sa vám všetko vo vnútri uvoľní a ochabne. A zmocní sa vás desivá hrôza. Kniha Nezatváraj oči si vyslúžila u anglickej kritiky prezývku Jednotka medzi bestsellermi. Tisícky ohlasov na internete, v ktorých čitatelia neskrývajú svoje nadšenie, zaradilo knižku medzi najčítanejšie detektívky. Autorke sa podarilo skĺbiť neuveriteľne komplikované charaktery do vzrušujúceho príbehu s množstvom zvratov, takže do konca netušíme, ako sa dráma skončí.
