Piinaavan intensiivinen kidnappausjännäri.

Lapsikulta on psykologisesti fiksu, kielellisesti taidokas trilleri, jonka eri kertojanäänet vangitsevat ja pitävät lukijan varpaisillaan: kuka on luotettava – vai onko kukaan?

Syvällä metsän uumenissa on ikkunaton mökki. Siellä asuu Lena lapsineen. Heidän elämästään on jo vuosia määrännyt ”isi”, heidät vanginnut mies. Eräänä yönä he onnistuvat pakenemaan, mutta painajainen on vasta alussa: isiltä ei noin vain karatakaan.

Lapsikulta on sydämenlyöntien tahtiin etenevä trilleri, ”klaustrofobinen, kauhistuttava ja raivokkaan vetävä” (Daily Mail) ja “verraton jännityskirjallisuuden taidonnäyte” (Financial Times).

Romy Hausmann syntyi vuonna 1981 entisessä Itä-Saksassa. 24-vuotiaana hän alkoi työskennellä elokuvatuotantoyhtiössä ja ryhtyi lapsensa syntymän jälkeen freelancetoimittajaksi. Lapsikulta on hänen esikoisteoksensa, jonka käännösoikeudet on myyty kahteenkymmeneen maahan, ja Saksassa sitä on myyty lähes 300 000 kappaletta.
