Lisa Gardner

Lisa Gardner ist eine renommierte amerikanische Autorin, die für ihre Spannungsromane sowie für ihre Romane, die sie unter dem Pseudonym Alicia Scott veröffentlicht, bekannt ist. Inspiriert durch den Buch-zum-Film-Hit "The Silence of the Lambs" hat sich Gardner als Meisterin der Spannung und des intriganten Plotens einen Namen gemacht.

Gardners Romanautorinnentum begann bereits während ihres College-Besuchs, als sie im Alter von 20 Jahren ihr erstes Buch veröffentlichte. Trotz der Herausforderungen, ihr Schreiben mit ihrem Studium in Einklang zu bringen, hielt sie durch und veröffentlichte schließlich ihren ersten Thriller nach drei Jahren und vier Überarbeitungen. Weiterhin schrieb sie, während sie als Research Analyst für eine internationale Beratungsfirma arbeitete, wodurch sie ihr Handwerk verfeinerte und ihre einzigartige Stimme entwickelte.

Über die Jahre hat Gardner sich als führende Stimme im Thriller-Genre etabliert. Sie hat mehrere beliebte Serien verfasst, darunter die Frankie Elkin-Serie, die Detective D.D. Warren-Serie, die FBI-Profiler-Serie und die PI Tessa Leoni-Serie. Ihre aktuelle Serie handelt von Frankie Elkin, einer gewöhnlichen Frau, die sich darauf spezialisiert hat, vermisste Personen zu finden. Mit ihrer scharfen Beobachtungsgabe und ihrer tiefgreifenden Kenntnis der kriminellen Psychologie erschafft Gardner fesselnde Erzählungen, die die Leser an den Rand ihrer Sitze drängen.

Neben ihrer Arbeit als Romanautorin ist Gardner auch eine engagierte Fürsprecherin für gefährdete Kinder und Rettungstiere. Sie hat zahlreiche Auszeichnungen und Anerkennungen für ihre Wohltätigkeitsarbeit erhalten, darunter den Silver Bullet Award. Wenn sie nicht schreibt oder sich für wichtige Anliegen einsetzt, genießt Gardner Wandern, Reisen und Lesen. Derzeit lebt sie in den Bergen von New Hampshire mit ihren zwei Hunden.
