Kate Kaminski: I Am Danvers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Twenty-eight year old Marie Danvers struggles to find security in an insecure world. Then she meets Ian, a seductive conman who offers her apprenticeship in crime: fleecing high net worth marks whose blind spots are ripe for exploitation. But instead of security, Danny's initiation into art theft via private domestic service leads her into a romantic obsession with wild child Calista who's about to be married. When her fantasies end in disaster, Danny lands a dream job in Los Angeles where tabloid celebrity Bebe Patten is about to take her on the joyride of her life. Set against the backdrop of a cutthroat film industry where lust, desperation and unhinged ambition collide, Danny is about to discover she's nothing more than a pawn in a covert game that will have lethal consequences.

Though conceived as an updated prequel to Daphne du Maurier's classic novel "Rebecca," the novel is a separate chronicle focused on a young Mrs. Danvers, exploring Danny's reimagined backstory as a con artist as well as her intense obsessions with unattainable women. The narrator's wryly ironic voice pulls you into a world where everybody's true motives are hidden, even her own.
