James Hanna Libri

    James Hanna scrive con un crudo realismo affinato da due decenni nel sistema di giustizia penale, inclusa la sua esperienza con unità per la violenza domestica e lo stalking. Le sue narrazioni si addentrano nella psiche umana sotto costrizione, offrendo esplorazioni senza timore della giustizia e delle sue complessità. Il background di Hanna infonde nelle sue storie una grinta autentica, facendo risuonare profondamente le lotte e i trionfi dei suoi personaggi. Il suo lavoro sfida i lettori a confrontarsi con verità scomode attraverso una prosa avvincente e perspicace.
