Hillary Bell Locke

    Hillary Bell Locke is een auteur wiens werken de complexiteit van het moderne leven onderzoeken. Haar schrijfwerk verkent vaak de spanningen tussen persoonlijke ambities en maatschappelijke verwachtingen, waarbij ze gebruik maakt van inzichtelijke introspectie en zorgvuldig getekende personages om de menselijke conditie te onderzoeken. Locke's stijl wordt gekenmerkt door zijn elegante eenvoud en zijn vermogen om diepe emoties op te roepen door ingetogen observaties. Lezers wenden zich tot haar verhalen vanwege hun eerlijkheid en de manier waarop ze de nuances van menselijke relaties en de zoektocht naar betekenis in de wereld vastleggen.

      Jay Davidovich is a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan because he joined the National Guard in the late ‘nineties so that the taxpayers could put him through college. Nine-eleven took him by surprise – “sort of like Bush,” as Jay puts it. His job at Trans/Oxana is to prevent losses that Trans/Oxana has insured against – especially losses that unpleasant people want to happen. After Hollywood pretty boy Kent Trowbridge plays late-night bumper-car in his Ferrari, which bought an eight-figure Trans/Oxana policy insuring performance of Trowbridge’s Major Performing Artist Contract. Jay quickly realizes that Trowbrigde is going to do some county time. Because there won’t be any director yelling “CUT!” when things get dicey on the inside, Jay figures that Trowbridge won’t be in shape to perform anything once he gets out unless Jay finds him a Jail Coach. Enter Katrina Thompson whose past includes jail, the Marines, a daughter, and a hustler named Stan Chaladian. The first will help Jay, the second will impress him, the third will charm him, and the fourth with almost kill him – that’s life in the Loss Prevention business.
