Julie Smith

    25. november 1944

    Autorka je známa svojím majstrovským zvládnutím detektívneho žánru, pričom jej diela často skúmajú zložité etické otázky prostredníctvom pútavých zápletiek. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje bystrým pozorovaním postáv a živým vykreslením prostredia, ktoré dodáva jej príbehom jedinečnú atmosféru. Venuje sa aj písaniu pre mladých dospelých, kde sa ponára do fantazijných svetov s neobvyklými hrdinami. Jej práce často odrážajú jej skúsenosti novinárky a súkromnej vyšetrovateľky, čo jej príbehom dodáva na autentickosti a hĺbke.

      When PI Talba Wallis receives a frantic call from Orleans Parish Prison, she’s shocked to hear from Angie, her boss's lawyer daughter, who has been arrested for drug possession.

As Talba investigates, she uncovers disturbing details, including a suspicious death at the marina and the judge's connections to bail bondsmen, revealing a web of corruption. When the scandal escalates and Judge Champagne is found dead, Talba is unexpectedly tasked with the investigation.

      As the rich novels of Julie Smith remind us, New Orleans is a city of excess. These days the local philosophy that too much is not enough seems to encompass not only the famed Crescent City pleasures of sex, music, and food, but also the escalating horror of violent death.However, with a new, honest police superintendent, NOPD detective Skip Langdon feels there's hope for the city she loves. But no sooner does Superintendent Albert Good take office than he is gunned down by an assassin, and within hours the killer himself is killed. A mysterious entity calling itself The Jury claims credit for this act of vigilante justice.Who or what is The Jury? No one knows, but Skip perceives in it the evil brilliance of her old adversary, charismatic con man and cold-blooded killer Errol Jacomine. She's always suspected it's just a matter of time before Jacomine's megalomaniacal ego orchestrates his revenge.The time is now.From across the South, the players in the unfolding drama come together--a pretty college student on the run, a monk who has packed a lifetime's worth of misery into a few years, and a madman with a murderous agenda.Beautiful New Orleans gathers them all into her casual embrace, while Detective Skip Langdon races (perhaps to her own destruction) to forestall the bloodshed to come.

      What's the etiquette when your hostess is arrested for murder? San Francisco lawyer Rebecca Schwartz has occasion to wonder when she and her weekend hostess, Marty Whitehead, find a body floating in the 30-foot kelp tower at the Monterey Aquarium, and Marty's promptly dragged off to the slammer. Rebecca quickly grasps the Emily Post solution—sign on as Marty's lawyer, try to keep her client's two young kids out of the deep end, and somehow avoid drowning in the sea of lies gushing from Marty's mouth--and everyone else’s. There’s a lot of intrigue among the aquarium's oceangoing primates, as well as rumors of a pearl beyond price.For Rebecca, the sea and all its animals have always held huge attraction, but now her attention turns to a particularly fine specimen of homo sapiens--hot marine biologist Julio Soto. As her investigation picks up speed, she finds she better act fast to keep Julio from sleeping with the fishes he collects. Because if she doesn't, he could be next in line for the shark tank—along with Rebecca herself.
