A haunting tale of psychological suspense from the CWA Gold Dagger award- winner
Frances Fyfield Knihy
18. november 1948
Táto autorka, pôvodne trestná právnička, čerpá inšpiráciu zo svojich rozsiahlych skúseností v právnom svete. Jej diela sa ponárajú do hlbín ľudskej povahy a zložitosti zločinu, často zasadené do malebných pobrežných krajín, ktoré sú jej vášňou. Prostredníctvom svojho literárneho talentu odhaľuje psychologické motivácie a morálne dilemy postáv s prenikavou presnosťou a pútavým štýlom. Jej próza je svedectvom jej hlbokého porozumenia právnemu systému aj ľudskému srdcu.

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.
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.
