Nancy Taylor Rosenberg Abuse of Power
Signet 1997 0451180062 / 9780451180063 Paperback Very Good
0451180062 0451180062 From Library Journal In this abridgment of Rosenberg's (Trial by Fire, Audio Reviews, LJ 12/96) latest novel, widow Rachel Simmons joins the Oak Grove police department to serve the community and provide financial security for her two children. However, when she is nearly raped and a high school football player is killed by her fellow officers, Simmons is forced to fight her department. With the help of her sister, a lawyer, Simmons hopes to bring the department to justice while fending off accusations that she shot and paralyzed the officer who assaulted her. Academy AwardR nominee Lindsay Crouse's reading of the story is quite good, and the adaptation holds the listener's attention. This is a good selection for the author's fans as well as for contemporary police fiction collections.?Stephen L. Hupp, Univ. of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Lib. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist Never one to shy away from controversy, the best-selling Rosenberg's sixth novel takes on a knotty one: rogue cops and the code of silence that permits a few bad actors to intimidate other officers and abuse citizens. After two years with the force in the L.A. suburb of Oak Grove, Rachel Simmons, a widow with a teenage daughter and a toddler son, has much to learn. Moonlighting as a security guard to pay off medical bills from her husband's long illness, she hasn't really bonded with her graveyard-shift colleagues. When Rachel declines to go along with the official lie about a Mob-related incident in which a high-school athlete died, she's fair game: threats to her family, violence, wiretapping, and a cold shoulder that leaves her alone with a corpse, a speed freak, and $50,000 in drug money. Although at times tempted to back off or even join in the corruption, Rachel has a core of integrity that keeps her on the high (but not the safe) road. A handsome assistant DA provides legal insights and romantic interest here, but Abuse of Power is closer to a police procedural (or anti-procedural) than a legal thriller. Despite shortcuts and stereotypes, it convincingly demonstrates why a bad cop is even more dangerous than a bad perp. A Literary Guild selection. Mary Carroll --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Lawrence Taylor Ambos Nogales: Intimate Portraits of the U.S-Mexico Border
School of American Research Press 2002 1930618077 / 9781930618077 Paperback New
1930618077 1930618077 Review A fresh and vivid look at life on the U.S.-Mexico border. -- Robert Alvarez, Department of Ethnic Studies, UC-San Diego Product Description Evoking the startling contrasts, brutalities, radiant beauty, and resilient people, these astonishing black-and-white photographs and penetrating essays reveal the ironic embrace of Nogales. The would-be immigrant caught in the tunnel between Nogales, Sonora, and Nogales, Arizona, knows life is dangerous and surprising. Being robbed by roving bands of teenagers or even being flushed through to the United States by a torrential rain only to be caught by border patrol agents are both possibilities. In Nogales, Arizona, pampered California produce brokers in their hotels float lazily unaware, just yards from the tunnel that brings in immigrants and drugs. In Nogales, Sonora, old cobblestone neighborhoods meander into new ramshackle colonias towards the edge of the city, and a group of tunnel kids make a home in the house of a jailed drug lord. Yet beneath the harsh realities there is another cultural world that flows softly and easily over the border, like the Anglo and Mexican ranchers with intricately tooled boots who cross cattle from Mexico to the United States or the Mexican-American mariachi singer with a beaming smile and an aunt who wishes she would stick to country-western. A paltry Mexican bullfighting arena holds the anxious young picador awaiting his first trial and a handsome matador, having just skirted death, who ceremoniously presents his hat to an admiring fan. And just beyond the late-night taco truck in Arizona, a homemade shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe glimmers above Nogales Wash with outstretched arms.
