Shadows on Bourbon Street
Author: Jack Rose
Publisher: BookRix
ISBN: 3755465000
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
The year was 1925, and New Orleans thrived in the paradox of its own unique heartbeat, the rhythmic pulse of jazz echoing through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, coiling around the wrought-iron balconies like the tendrils of a beguiling serpent. Gas lamps, flickering like distant stars, painted the cobblestone alleys with a sepia glow, casting shadows that danced to the soulful tunes pouring out of smoky jazz clubs. The city's heartbeat was jazz, an audible heartbeat that resonated from the pulsating heart of Basin Street to the dimly lit corners of Storyville. Trumpets wailed, saxophones wept, and the seductive melodies of the blues seeped into the very air, carrying the promise of hedonistic nights and clandestine rendezvous. Speakeasies, those secret sanctuaries of vice, flourished beneath the surface, hidden behind unmarked doors and guarded by watchful eyes. The Prohibition may have sought to silence the clinking of glasses, but in New Orleans, the clinking persisted, masked by the lively chatter of patrons enjoying the forbidden nectar of bootlegged spirits. The whispers of the Mississippi River, flowing with the untold tales of the city, mingled with the melodies that spilled onto the streets. Women in flapper dresses and men in sharp suits wove through the crowds, their laughter and hushed conversations adding to the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans nightlife. In this city of decadence and intrigue, where voodoo queens held court in dimly lit corners and the scent of gumbo lingered in the air like a bewitching perfume, secrets weren't buried; they were shared like lovers' whispers in the dark. The air in Sam Malone's office was thick with the acrid smell of cigarette smoke, the languid trails hovering like ghosts in the dim lamplight. Malone, a man well-acquainted with shadows, sat behind his worn mahogany desk, nursing a glass of bourbon that had seen better days. The flickering neon sign outside his window said: Private Investigator.

Book Description
Situated deep in the Louisiana bayou is the formerly opulent Sorrow Estate. Once home to a magical family—the Sorrows—it now sits in ruins, ever since a series of murders in 1902 shocked the entire community. Now the ghosts of girls in white dresses shift in and out of view, stuck in time as they live out the past on repeat. When Frances Green Sorrow is born carrying the "signs" of the so-called chosen one, it is believed she will bring her family back from the brink of obscurity, finally resurrecting the glory of what it once was and setting the Sorrows ghosts free. But Frances is no savior. Fleeing from heartbreak, she seeks solace in the seductive chaos of New Orleans, only to end up married too young in an attempt to live an ordinary life. When her marriage falls apart shortly after having a son, she returns home again—alone—just out of reach from the prying eyes of her family. But when her son disappears, she is forced to rejoin the world she left behind, exposing her darkest secret in order to find him and discovering the truth of what really happened that fateful year in the process. Set amidst the colorful charm of The French Quarter and remote bayous of Tivoli Parish, Louisiana, Suzanne Palmieri's The Witch of Bourbon Street is a story of family, redemption, and forgiveness. Because sometimes, the most important person you have to forgive.... is yourself.

Shadows of Doubt
Author: Brendan O'Flaherty
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674240170
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Shadows of Doubt reveals how deeply stereotypes distort our interactions, shape crime, and deform the criminal justice system. If you’re a robber, how do you choose your victims? As a police officer, how afraid are you of the young man you’re about to arrest? As a judge, do you think the suspect in front of you will show up in court if released from pretrial detention? As a juror, does the defendant seem guilty to you? Your answers may depend on the stereotypes you hold, and the stereotypes you believe others hold. In this provocative, pioneering book, economists Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi explore how stereotypes can shape the ways crimes unfold and how they contaminate the justice system through far more insidious, pervasive, and surprising paths than we have previously imagined. Crime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police officers, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people act as they try to commit, prevent, or punish crimes, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making. Sometimes it’s simple: Robbers tend to target those they stereotype as being more compliant. Other interactions display a complex and sometimes tragic interplay of assumptions: “If he thinks I’m dangerous, he might shoot. I’ll shoot first.” Shadows of Doubt shows how deeply stereotypes are implicated in the most controversial criminal justice issues of our time, and how a clearer understanding of their effects can guide us toward a more just society.
