Описание:
Nik Vanelli drives a delivery truck by day and is the front man of a popular local band, Lapis Lazuli, on the weekends. But he never expected to have a whirlwind romance with a being from another dimension. While he enjoys the stage life, he yearns for something more. He dreams of composing his masterpiece, his "Life's Work," to showcase his passion to the world but falls short to find the right inspiration.
After playing a show at a local venue, Nik meets Samantha, and they share an evening of passion. Nik believes he has found his inspiration, but, as time goes on, he learns Samantha's secret--a secret revealed to Nik after playing another show with his band.
Nik leaves his town for the weekend to collect his thoughts and gain a grasp on the situation. On his way home, he discovers Mirage. Is the mysterious Mirage what he needs to fulfill his inspiration? Or will he get lost in her alternate universe ... forever?
Описание: The unforgettable story of one lawyer and his defendant who together changed American law during the height of the Civil Rights era. In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight between a group of four white kids and two of Gary's own cousins. After putting his hand on the arm of one of the white children, Duncan was arrested for assault. A member of the local branch of the NAACP, Duncan used his contacts to reach Richard Sobol, a 29-year-old born and bred New Yorker working that summer in a black firm ("the most radical law firm") in New Orleans, to represent him. In this powerful work of character-driven history that benefits from the author's deep understanding of the law, Van Meter brings alive how one court case changed the course of justice in the South, and eventually the entire country. The events that Gary Duncan set in motion brought to an end a form of injustice -- denial of trial by jury-- that led to the incarceration of thousands of poor and mostly black Americans. Duncan vs. Louisiana changed America, but before it did it changed the lives of the people who litigated it.
