Author Bio:
The author says:

“This book is not just a thriller – it is something more that makes us think about the actions and essence of the person himself! that one is truly not born a murderer, but one who becomes one.”

She continues ‘In my youth, I wrote scripts for school plays, and my literature teacher said that I had immense talent and should write my own book. To be honest, I took it as a joke and nothing more. However, in 2023, when my husband and I watched films (I won’t reveal the titles; I want readers to piece together this puzzle over time), I can only say that Jonathan Rhys Meyers starred in one of the films, while Jake Gyllenhaal starred in the other. That’s why I dedicated my book “In Still Waters” to them! Thanks to Jake, my character Toby Clark was born, and thanks to Jonathan, Milosh Dobrev came to life.’
