Trish McCormack

    Táto autorka sa venuje písaniu detektívnych príbehov, ktoré zasadzuje do malebných novozélandských scenérií, často inšpirovaných miestami, kde vyrastala. Jej hrdinkou je Philippa Barnesová, sprievodkyňa po ľadovcoch, ktorá oplýva sebairóniou, vytrvalosťou, láskavým srdcom a čiernym humorom. Postava Philippy odráža autorčinu túžbu po úniku do divočiny a nachádzaní záhad na rozlúštenie. Diela autorky sú napínavé a zároveň ponúkajú pohľad do krásy prírody.
