Insight: Leben mit der Wahrheit
Mehr als zwei Jahre trauert Douglas um seinen besten Freund Torin, der sich völlig überraschend das Leben nahm. Lange Zeit kämpft er nicht nur mit dem Verlust, sondern auch mit Schuldgefühlen. Als sein totgeglaubter Freund ihn am Flughafen von Edinburgh über den Haufen rennt und im Strom ankommender Passagiere verschwindet, ändert sich für Douglas alles. In seiner fassungslosen Wut engagiert er den Privatdetektiv Reed MacKinnon, um Klarheit zu bekommen. Lebt Torin wirklich noch oder ist die Begegnung nur ein Hirngespinst? Zu Beginn empfindet Reed die Jobbeschreibung noch als einfach. ‚Mach einen Mann ausfindig‘ – hieß es. ‚Keine große Sache‘ – hieß es. Er hätte allerdings stutzig werden sollen, als Douglas ihm sagte, Torin Wallace gelte offiziell als tot. Suizid. Wer kommt denn bitte auf die hirnverbrannte Idee, nach einem toten Mann zu suchen? INSIGHT erzählt eine Geschichte über Erkenntnisse, die sich einem erst offenbaren, sobald die Maske, die man aus Selbstschutz trägt, fällt. Denn sie verbirgt nicht nur das wahre Ich vor der Außenwelt. Sie verhindert ebenso den Blick des Trägers auf die Realität. "INSIGHT - Leben mit der Wahrheit" ist der zweite Band der LIVING-Reihe. Jede Geschichte ist in sich abgeschlossen. (als Taschenbuchausgabe ca. 330 Seiten) 1 - INJURED - Ein Leben danach 2 - INSIGHT - Leben mit der Wahrheit A NEW LIFE - Ein Schotte in Montana (Spin-off)

About the author
Nele Betra
103 books24 followersI live with my family in the south of Germany. Our son is now grown up, sought the distance a few years ago and my husband I regularly lock in the garage to his motorcycles to have my peace. As you can see, my humor takes some getting used to. No seriously, we love and respect each other and I am grateful every day anew to know him by my side.
Under the pseudonym Nele Betra I write romantic stories in different genres as well as genre mixes.
At the beginning of 2014 I had a spontaneous idea: I could write a story. So I sat down and just did it. No one could have even guessed what that would mean for me and my future.
In the meantime, I've given up my job and work as a freelance author - a fact that I enjoy to the full after thirty years of working in the private sector. I certainly won't take the freedom that comes with it for granted.
As you can see, I don't belong to the species of author who has been writing down stories since childhood. A hobby turned into a vocation. On days when I'm not sitting at the computer breathing life into my protagonists, I really realize that.
My stories evolve during the writing process, which always makes it exciting for me, because I almost never know beforehand in which direction a plot will develop. Sure, I know the novel's heroes at the beginning, and they end up finding happiness together, but as the saying goes, the journey is the destination. They love each other. They hate each other. Fate - or rather I turn their lives upside down, make them tumble over imaginary precipices to catch them with a happy ending.
For me, there is nothing better than to emotionally abduct my readers and immerse them in the world of my protagonists. Nevertheless, I try to address important and sometimes serious issues and make them thought-provoking. But not without conveying a certain lightness. In my eyes, life is also not always sky-high or sad to death. Everything is in balance. Drama, love, lust, humor, suspense are the ingredients with which I spice my novels. I am only satisfied when the book is closed at the end with a relieved sigh and people are happy that everything turned out well in the end; I was able to give a few hours of joy.
