Wir schreiben das Jahr 1996, Bill Clinton ist gerade wiedergewählt worden und in Houston steht eine Bürgermeisterwahl an. Wie üblich konzentriert sich der Wahlkampf auf Pleasantville - das afroamerikanische Viertel der Stadt, das seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1949 fast jedes Rennen entschieden hat. Axel Hathorne, ehemaliger Polizeichef und Sohn des Gründungsvaters von Pleasantville Sam Hathorne, steht kurz davor, Houstons erster schwarzer Bürgermeister zu werden. Doch sein Vorsprung schmilzt dank eines neuen Kandidaten im Rennen - Sandy Wolcott, eine Strafverteidigerin, die sich über den Erfolg eines viel beachteten Mordprozesses freut. Als sich der Wettbewerb verschärft, verschwindet ein Mädchen, das oenbar für Axel geworben hat. Als ihre Leiche gefunden wird, wird Axels Nee des Mordes an ihr beschuldigt. Sam ist entschlossen, dass Jay Porter seinen Enkel verteidigt. In einem spektakulären Mordprozess, der einmal mehr unter Beweis stellt, wie weit die Mächtigen zu gehen bereit sind, um ihre Macht zu erhalten. Nominiert für den CWA Gold Dagger 2015 ' Pressestimmen "Zwingend. . . . Ein Rätsel, das die ganze Idee des Rätsels ausweitet und von der Gegenwart bis tief in die Vergangenheit reicht. . . . Großartig geschrieben, die Art, die einem eine Gänsehaut beschert." Los Angeles Times "Wie schon in ihrem ersten Roman Black Water Rising greift Locke auf die Vergangenheit zurück, um ihre Figuren daran zu erinnern, wie sehr sie ihre Identität geprägt hat und wie sehr sie die Entscheidungen, die sie treen, weiterhin beeinusst." New York Times Book Review "Locke weiß, wie man eine packende Geschichte schreibt. ... Mit Pleasantville hat sie einen Justizthriller geschaen, der zwischen persönlicher Tragödie und politischer Korruption wechselt, immer mit einem Auge für das kleine Detail oder die große Enthüllung." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

My favorite sunscreen
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen and have been carrying a can in my bag all this summer. To address a couple of common complaints: “It’s not sheer at all”: “Sheer” does not mean the same thing as “clear,” people. This spray is white and absolutely does rub in to be sheer as advertised. It leaves a slight (“sheer”) white tinge after rubbing in, but it’s not super noticeable on my pale skin. It might be more problematic on darker skin tones. (Also, it should be noted that there is literally no such thing as clear mineral sunscreen- you will have to choose between a product like this and a clear one containing endocrine disruptors. I’d rather look a little pasty, personally.) “My whole family used this and got burned”: You need to shake the can before spraying, as per the instructions. These sprays are made of zinc (the active, protective ingredient) in a liquid suspension. If you spray without shaking the can first, you risk getting all liquid and no zinc particles, and then yes, you will burn. I’m pretty sensitive and this sunscreen has not failed me yet. “It’s hard to get off”: This is true. It is hard to get off. But why would you want a sunscreen to come off easily?? This stuff is water resistant to an impressive degree. In the evening if it takes a vigorous scrubbing to get it off, I consider the exfoliation a bonus. Also, my nozzles have worked just fine and the cans last me quite a good amount of time.

It really is water resistant
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is great. Normally when buying a green sunscreen, I have to sacrifice the aerosol feature and default to a lotion. This has a very neutral scent and sprays easily and evenly. It is zinc-based, so it will leave a white haze on your skin. I did need to rub it in after spraying, which helped minimize the white hue. It does love bathing suits, so be prepared to also rub the zinc powder into your bathing suit, otherwise it will be spray painted white. I used this while tubing and did not get burned--just nice and toasty-tan. The biggest downside is that it has a very slight stickiness/tackiness to it. I showered twice before I finally felt like it was all off my skin. But at least it didn't come off in the river!

Leaves skin WHITE and chalky!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the worst. it leaves your skin feeling chalky, and totally white. it is difficult to get it off. I accidentally bought it twice two years apart thinking it was the one I liked, but nope. floated the river and even trying to rub it off in the water wouldn't remove the white cast on my skin all day. If you don't mind chalky skin and looking white, then go for it.

Great convenient nontoxic spray sunblock option that really works!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am very serious about nontoxic products for my family, particularly for my young children. I also insist on sunscreen almost every day. The unfortunate thing is that I really dislike actually applying sunscreen! lol! I don't mind on normal mornings (and we usually use the Green Screen Organic Sunscreen SPF 32 Original - Vegan - Gluten-free or Babo Botanicals SPF 40 Daily Sheer Facial Sunscreen, Unscented), but when we are on the go or at the beach, I wanted to make it as easy as possible to apply. We bought this for a beach getaway over the summer and it really surprised me. It is an easy application (shake, spray, rub) and it really worked. Two children and two adults used this on the entire body and face along with some extra stick protection on the face. I reapplied a few times, but not religiously and no one got a burn... no one really even got a tan. It says that it is sweat and water proof up until a certain point and I believe it really is because we were in scorching heat on the beach (in the water too) and no one had any issues. The great thing is that it really did make application easy so I think we reapplied more appropriately than we would have with a regular tube of sublock. I am not experienced with spray sunblocks so I cannot compare with others, but I believe it is similar. Note, since this is a nontoxic sublock that is zinc based, it does go on white and also sprays whatever it gets on white, but I didn't have any problems. It rubs in very easily and seemed to come off of carpet, clothes, etc. very easily as well. This is now a regular go-to for us even on non-beach days.

Ok, but not great for the price.
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The good: 1. Doesn't have that typical sunscreen sent. (I hate that smell so that is a major plus for me.). 2. Doesn't burn my eyes 3. Doesn't clog my porse (some sunscreen gives me back acne) The bad: 1. On my skin (And I suspect anyone who has melanin ) it leaves a chalk-like film that makes me look ashy. 2. When you spray it IT GETS EVERYWHERE! On the floor, walls and pretty much tow feet from wherever you are standing. 3. I bought this at the 1st of the month it's 18th and the bottle is EMPTY! And I didn't even use it every day (obviously only used when I was outside in the sun.) 4. Feels chalkie on the skin. Overall while not a bad product, I will not be purchasing again too many issues and cons for the price.
