Book excerpt: Truth is supposed to be the great equalizer. Facts, evidence, sworn testimony. The hallmarks of justice. But when proof is hidden, reality becomes the province of perception. And perception is far too easily manipulated. Unseen threats turn to evil incarnate. Selfish privilege breeds corruption. And prejudice keeps those worthy of redemption from finding salvation. Truth is nothing but a dream. Imprisoned and forgotten, Emory Linsey has been cast out of every version of life he’s ever known, condemned for the atrocities perpetrated by his monstrous alter ego. No one’s interested in finding the tormented man beneath Wraith’s mask. No one wants to believe that he’s anything but unrepentantly insane. They only want someone to blame for the crimes they can’t understand. Resigned to his fate, Emory draws the shadows around him as he’s done for his entire life and hides from the world. The wretched don’t deserve to hope and dream. Dr. Gabriel Norris is an esteemed psychiatrist with a bright and promising career, a handsome intellectual, a coffee snob. He’s content in his predictable, sheltered life and his unremarkable domed world. Helping his patients navigate the convoluted avenues of their dreamscapes is about as much risk as he’s willing to take. But when he’s invited to rehabilitate the most dangerous patient at the country’s top treatment facility, it’s an offer he won’t even consider refusing. This is his chance to help someone who truly needs his expertise. He’s seen practically everything that the human psyche can throw at him by now. He can handle this assignment too. From opposite sides of their world, Emory and Gabe must unravel the web of lies threatening to trap them. Perception looms like an impenetrable wall and it will take everything they have to break it down and find the truth. Not even love can save them from corruption. If they hope for freedom and a future together, then they’ll have to overcome fear itself. They’ll have to dream up something stronger.

Download or read book Pipe Dream written by Solomon Jones and published by Villard. This book was released on 2001-09-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lawyer turned on the tape recorder, handed his client a cigarette, and lit it for him. Black drew hard, squinting as the smoke rushed into his lungs. "Where do you want to start?"the lawyer said, lighting a cigarette of his own. "I guess there’s only one place to start; at Broad and Erie." Johnny Podres, a politician whose record against corruption had been propelling him straight to the mayor’s office, is found murdered in a North Philly crack house. Enter Samuel Jackson, a.k.a. Black, a drug addict who knows better, a man embittered by the fact that he can’t seem to escape from his addiction to crack cocaine or, for that matter, from himself. Though he was once a family man with a wife and son, Black’s only concern these days is getting his next high, that is, until he stumbles across a friend and fellow addict, Leroy, and both become prime suspects in the Podres murder. Black and Leroy hook up with two female pipers: Clarisse, a registered nurse who is slowly losing to crack any semblance of a respectable life, and Pookie, who already has lost it. Soon the hunt is on for all four as they try to stay one step ahead of a police department under tremendous pressure to solve the case—because if a killer isn’t found soon, this could blow up into one of the biggest scandals in Philadelphia history. Solomon Jones weaves a suspenseful story against the backdrop of corruption in the Philadelphia police department and centers it on a group of drug addicts who, in the process of fleeing the law, come to terms with their own addiction, leading to some devastating consequences.
