Rodinné putá sú silnejšie, ako sa zdá

Šepkár je prezentovaný obálkou ako "Najlepší krimiromán desaťročia". Voči podobným reklamným ťahom som skeptický, keďže tých najlepších románov sa každoročne urodí jeden mesačne... Anotácia však naznačovala, že by predsa len mohlo ísť o zaujímavé čítanie.

Knižný tip

Alex North: Šepkár // ...viacvrstvový krimiromán!

"Ak necháš dvere napoly otvorené, čoskoro začuješ niečo šeptom ševelené.Ak sa hráš sám vonku, nepôjdeš hneď do svojho domku. Ak zabudneš okno zatvoriť, začuješ ho za sklom šramotiť. Ak si smutný, skľúčený a sám, príde si po teba Šepkár k vám."Ústredná detská básnička knihy Šepkár toho zahaľuje aj odkrýva naozaj veľa. Pri prvom prečítaní je nám hneď jasné, že máme pred sebou ponurú drámu,[...]

Alex North - Šepkár

Tom si so svojím synom veľmi nerozumie. Jake je utiahnutý malý chlapec, ktorý má vlastný svet, a nikoho doň nechce vpustiť. Hlavne otca nie. Rodič sa ale nevzdáva a robí všetko pre to, aby sa k nemu dostal bližšie. Jeho pokusy však zlyhávajú. Aby toho nebolo málo, oboch trápia bolestivé spomienky. Tom vidí jediné riešenie: odchod z domu, ktorý si tak veľa pamätá. Musia začať niekde inde.[...]

In this dark, suspenseful thriller, Alex North weaves a multi-generational tale of a father and son caught in the crosshairs of an investigation to catch a serial killer preying on a small town.

After the sudden death of his wife, Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start will help him and his young son Jake heal. A new beginning, a new house, a new town: Featherbank.

But Featherbank has a dark past. Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents. Until Frank Carter was finally caught, he was nicknamed "The Whisper Man," for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night.

Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes. His disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes, reigniting old rumors that he preyed with an accomplice. Now, detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit his great foe in prison: The Whisper Man. And then Jake begins acting strangely. He hears a whispering at his window.
