Liv for Liv
Politikens Forlag, forhandlere og forfattere er gået sammen og donerer intet mindre end kr. 250.000 til Dansk Flygtningehjælp, når syv af Danmarks mest populære og bedst sælgende krimi- og spændingsforfattere går sammen om en af sommerens mest spændende udgivelser Liv for liv.
De syv forfattere har hver især skrevet en nervepirrende historie til samlingen Liv for liv, der udkommer i et imponerende førsteoplag på 26.000 eksemplarer. Forfatterne har fået frie hænder i skriveprocessen, og det har givet seks meget forskellige spændingshistorier om blandt andet terror i en lufthavn, koldblodig hævn og kidnapning.
Nogle af forfatterne har valgt at følge op på de allerede eksisterende persongallerier fra deres spændingsserier, mens andre har besluttet sig for at skrive helt nyt. Fælles for historierne er naturligvis, at de har et spændingsplot, der kan give selv den varmeste læsehest kuldegysninger.

Jeg havde nok forventet mig noget mere, eftersom flere af mine yndlingsforfattere har skrevet historier til "Liv for liv". Det er ok underholdning, men heller ikke mere!
