The Method: Kidnapped? Helpless? Looks can be deceiving... de Shannon Kirk

The Method: Kidnapped? Helpless? Looks can be deceiving...

Autor Shannon Kirk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2017

O cameră încuiată. O adolescentă de șaisprezece ani, însărcinată. Un plan de răpire care pare perfect executat. Aceasta este imaginea cu care Shannon Kirk ne aruncă în mijlocul unui coșmar logistic. Însă, spre deosebire de alte romane polițiste, aici raportul de forțe se inversează rapid. Descoperim o protagonistă care refuză rolul de victimă neajutorată. Ea este un geniu al manipulării, o minte analitică ce începe să-și segmenteze captivitatea ca pe o problemă de matematică. Ritmul este alert. Propozițiile sunt scurte, tăioase ca un bisturiu. Observăm cum frica este înlocuită de o metodă rece, calculată. Capturată fizic, tânăra preia controlul psihologic asupra răpitorilor săi, transformând fiecare obiect din jur într-o armă potențială. La intersecția dintre The Chain de Adrian McKinty și No Exit de Taylor Adams, această carte combină teroarea unei răpiri imprevizibile cu ingeniozitatea unei eroine care refuză să piardă. Dacă în alte titluri similare accentul cade pe disperarea părinților, The Method se concentrează pe psihicul de fier al celui sechestrat. Este un debut electrizant care demonstrează că cea mai periculoasă persoană dintr-o cameră nu este întotdeauna cea care deține cheia.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm The Method cititorilor care caută un roman polițist cu o structură narativă atipică. Câștigul major este perspectiva unei eroine atipice: o minte sclipitoare care își folosește intelectul pentru a supraviețui. Dacă preferați thrillerele psihologice întunecate, unde victima devine vânător, această carte premiată cu National Indie Excellence Award este alegerea ideală pentru o sesiune de lectură intensă.

Despre autor

Shannon Kirk este o personalitate polivalentă: avocat practicant, profesor de drept și scriitoare premiată. Experiența sa în sălile de judecată din Chicago și studiile la Suffolk Law School îi infuzează proza cu o precizie juridică și o logică impecabilă. Recunoscută de trei ori de Societatea Faulkner pentru scrierile sale, Kirk a reușit cu The Method să creeze un succes internațional, romanul fiind deja în curs de adaptare pentru marele ecran.

Descriere

A gripping debut thriller that introduces a heroine like no other - perfect for fans of Michelle Frances's The Girlfriend and TM Logan's Lies.

You're sixteen, you're pregnant and you've been kidnapped.

If you're anyone else you give in, but if you're a manipulative prodigy you fight back in the only way you can. You use what you've been given against your captors.

You have only one chance to save your life and that of your unborn child. You're calculating, methodical, and as your kidnappers are about to discover, they made a big mistake in abducting you.

What happens when the victim is just as dangerous as the captors?

If you like Michelle Frances, TM Logan, Patricia Gibney, Rachel Caine, John Marrs and Saskia Sarginson then you'll love this dark and gripping thriller.
