Special Prosecutor Mason Deveraux has called a grand jury to investigate the corruption in the Sweet Branch Police Department, and he’s summoned Rose as a witness. Any topic is fair game, and the criminals in Fenton county are rightly scared of what she might share under oath. While trying to placate the lawless men, Rose is also caring for her dying sister, Violet. Only Violet’s doctor has fled town after selling prescriptions, and Rose is sure big-time drug dealer Denny Carmichael has his hand in the situation. She has no intention of investigating, but like with a lot of her cases, clues keep falling into her lap. Then, just when it feels like everything’s at a boiling point, Rose gets shocking news that turns her life upside down. Now, she’s not just soothing the criminals’ anxiety, but actively seeking allies for a fight she hasn’t asked for—and her enemy just might be the man she loves.

Download or read book Weather Architecture written by Jonathan Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather Architecture further extends Jonathan Hill’s investigation of authorship by recognising the creativity of the weather. At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that affects design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture’s relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather’s effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.
Download or read book Come Rain Come Shine written by Jack Bedell and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "High-spirited and unafraid, full of Louisiana Cajun zest, quick to anger and quick to forvice, and quick to offer unabashed praise for his world, Jack Bedell's new pomes take us through lived experiences, come rain or come shine. He tells his story and fixes his place in these remarkably examining lyrics that grab hold and won't let go." --Heather Ross Miller "Deeply rooted in Bedell's native Louisiana, these poems preserve his Cajun heritage and customs to form the complex texture of this impressive collection. Family life is always at the center of his work, and it is a source of deep joy for Bedell whether he's detailing a pretend sword fight with his son or watching his wife take a bath. These poems are infused with a deep understanding of what it is to be human because Bedell has cored them from the heart. In Come Rain, Come Shine, Jack Bedell has the vision to realize where a significant story is, and in telling it, he leads his reader to such wisdom." --Vivian Shipley "Jack Bedell is a prince amongst poets, a kindred spirit in this magnificent landscape of Cajuns and Southern Louisiana, where his best poems render amazing texture to a place filthy rich in culture, sugar cane fields, Mardi Gras, and a world where any child would be blessed to live his/her childhood. The poems in Come Rain, Come Shine, simply and memorably, are as delicious and nourishing as etouffée and jambalaya. They also reveal a man coming to terms with his own history, family, and religion. His is a mature voice, graceful and eloquent, that brings to life more than the memory of the place and its people. I've been a longtime admirer of Mr. Bedell's poetic gifts, and I highly recommend this new book of his for it is amongst some of the best poetry I've read in a while." --Virgin Suárez "Come Rain, Come Shine dazzles with a quiet brilliance all its own, a luster born of simple things, with stirring poems of desire, familial love and fatherhood, and with real life places and encounters, at once exotic and familiar. These lyric poems are rich with a sense of place and narrative and evoke both family story and Louisiana in all their rain and shine." --Diane Thiel
