Peter Green

    22. Dezember 1924

    Dieser Autor, der von einem Beruf als Architekt zum Schriftsteller wurde, schöpft aus seinen Erfahrungen in Architektur und Stadtplanung. Sein Debütroman spielt in St. Louis und folgt einem Architekten, der zum Amateurdetektiv werden muss, um seine Karriere und sein Leben zu retten, als er während einer katastrophalen Flut eine Leiche in einer Pumpstation entdeckt. Sein Schreibstil ist geprägt von seiner Herkunft aus einer Familie von Journalisten und seinen Erlebnissen in der Architektur, wobei er Elemente von Intrigen und persönlichen Dramen in seine spannenden Erzählungen einfließen lässt.

      "Celiac disease is a hereditary autoimmune condition that damages the lining of the small intestine so that it cannot properly absorb food. Without essential nutrients, the entire body begins to suffer. The disease is triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. The only "cure" for the disease is a life-long gluten-free diet. The disease affects nearly 1 in every 100 people in the United States--50 percent of whom remain undiagnosed and untreated. Although the primary target of injury is the small intestine, CD can and often does affect the entire body. Complications from the disease can include infertility, liver disease, osteoporosis, anemia, and other autoimmune diseases (such as Type 1 diabetes and Thyroid disease), neurological conditions, and even cancer."--Provided by publisher
