Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You Stories【電子書籍】[ Laurie Lynn Drummond ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This riveting debut collection of short fiction about women cops comes from the author's real?life experience as a Baton Rouge police officer. In an entirely fresh and unique voice, these stories reveal the humanity, compassion, humour, tragedy and redemption hidden behind the "blue wall."</p> <p>Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You centres on the lives of five female police officers. Each woman's story?like each call in a police officer's day?varies in its unique drama, but all the tales illuminate the tenuous line between life and death, violence and control, despair and salvation. Because the stories come from the author's own experience, they open a curtain on the truth behind the job?how officers are trained to deal with the smell of death, how violence clings to a crime scene long after the crime is committed, how the police determine when to engage in or diffuse violence, why some people make it from the academy to the force and some don't, and all the friendships, romances, and dramas that happen along the way. It illuminates not only how officers feel while they are in uniform, holding their guns, but also what they feel after they go home and put those guns aside.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,440円

<p>**“These gripping, magical tales span time travel, portals, menacing butterflies, and more. A can’t-miss meditation on families and survival.”<br /> ー<em>People</em></p> <p>“A gorgeous book that also serves as a series of unanswerable, probing questions: How did we get here? How will we move forward? Can we still love, despite the wreckage? This is devastating work, and I mean that as a compliment. Very rarely have I come across a set of stories so genuinely moving. A searing collection that attempts to place the world delicately in our fumbling, undeserving hands.” ーKristen Arnett, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Mostly Dead Things</em> and <em>With Teeth</em></p> <p>A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025: <em>Lit Hub</em>, <em>The Millions</em></p> <p>What do we owe our family and friends in times of wild uncertainty?**</p> <p>That’s the question the women of Leyna Krow’s beguiling, darkly fabulist story collection grapple with as they strive to be good mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, wives, and companions in a world that is constantly shifting around them. Set in the Pacific Northwest, these stories blend high concept magic with the sometimes subtle, other times glaring, realities of climate change.</p> <p>As protagonists contend with doppelg?nger babies, hordes of time travelers, mysterious portals, and supernatural siblings, there lurks in the background the effects of the region’s rapidly shifting environment. There are wildfires, wind storms, unrelenting heat, disrupted butterfly migration patterns, a new plague, and a catastrophe on the slopes of Mount Rainier that reverberates through three generations of a single family over the course of a half dozen linked stories.</p> <p>With Krow’s signature blend of sardonic whimsy and unsettling insight, <em>Sinkhole, and Other Inexplicable Voids</em> imagines the rules to be broken, choices to be made, and even crimes to be had for the sake of the people, and places, we love.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,036円
