Istrijské zlato je ambiciózní a strhující historický thriller od oceňovaného filmaře a producenta Mikea Downeyho. Román se odehrává na chorvatském poloostrově Istrie a prolínají se v něm tři časové linie: období římské okupace v roce 81 n. l., partyzánský odboj během druhé světové války a současnost. Propojujícím motivem je tajemství vzácných istrijských lanýžů, které ovlivňuje osudy postav napříč staletími. Autor mistrně kombinuje historické události, místní tradice a napětí, aby vytvořil mnohovrstevnatý příběh plný dobrodružství, vášně a nostalgie.

The latest novel from New York Times best-selling author Jennifer McMahon is an atmospheric, gripping, and suspenseful tale that probes the bond between sisters and the peril of keeping secrets. Once the thriving attraction of rural Vermont, the Tower Motel now stands in disrepair, alive only in the memories of Amy, Piper, and Piper's kid sister, Margot. The three played there as girls until the day that their games uncovered something dark and twisted in the motel's past, something that ruined their friendship forever. Now adult, Piper and Margot have tried to forget what they found that fateful summer, but their lives are upended when Piper receives a panicked midnight call from Margot, with news of a horrific crime for which Amy stands accused. Suddenly, Margot and Piper are forced to relive the time that they found the suitcase that once belonged to Silvie Slater, the aunt that Amy claimed had run away to Hollywood to live out her dream of becoming Hitchcock's next blonde bombshell leading lady. As Margot and Piper investigate, a cleverly woven plot unfolds--revealing the story of Sylvie and Rose, two other sisters who lived at the motel during its 1950s heyday.
