Victoria Wilcox

    Victoria Wilcox's diepgaande duik in het leven van Doc Holliday, voortkomend uit haar werk in een historisch huis, heeft haar gevestigd als een toonaangevende autoriteit op deze legendarische figuur. Haar uitgebreide onderzoek en haar betrokkenheid bij primaire bronnen stellen haar in staat de onvertelde verhalen rond Holliday en zijn tijd te belichten. Wilcox's schrijven wordt geprezen om haar nauwgezette aandacht voor historische details en haar vermogen om het verleden met overtuigende authenticiteit weer te geven. Ze vangt vakkundig de essentie van het Amerikaanse Westen en zijn meest raadselachtige personages, en biedt lezers een fris en intiem perspectief.
