Story4 out of 5 stars 905
Caren Gray manages Belle Vie, a sprawling antebellum plantation that sits between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where the past and the present coexist uneasily. The estate's owners have turned the place into an eerie tourist attraction, complete with full-dress re-enactments and carefully restored slave quarters. Outside the gates, a corporation with ambitious plans has been busy snapping up land from struggling families who have been growing sugar cane for generations, and now replacing local employees with illegal laborers. Tensions mount when the body of a female migrant worker is found in a shallow grave on the edge of the property.

It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, non-stop, to the top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds, and then plummets. Right to the bottom of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet another high-rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world - and the nation’s capital of media, finance, and entertainment - is plunged into chaos.

By: Margaret Atwood
Publisher's summary
Porter is hardly the lawyer he set out to be. His most promising client is a low-rent call girl and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall. But he's long since made peace with not living the American Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.
Houston, Texas, 1981. It is here that Jay believes he can make a fresh start. That is, until the night in a boat out on the bayou when he impulsively saves a woman from drowning - and opens a Pandora's box. Her secrets put Jay in danger, ensnaring him in a murder investigation that could cost him his practice, his family, and even his life. But before he can get to the bottom of a tangled mystery that reaches into the upper echelons of Houston's corporate power brokers, Jay must confront the demons of his past.
With pacing that captures the reader from the first scene through an exhilarating climax, Black Water Rising marks the arrival of an electrifying new talent.

Ex-cop Jim Weir thought he'd seen it all during his years on the force. That is until he saw the body of his sister Annie, brutally used by a monster in human form, then carelessly discarded.

When Weir learns that the only witness swore the killer made his escape in a Newport Beach squad car, his disbelief turns to confusion and outrage.

In the not-so-distant future, the forecasted "death of print" has become a reality. Anana Johnson works with her father, Doug, at the North American Dictionary of the English Language, where he is hard at work on the last edition that will ever be printed. Doug is a staunchly anti-meme, anti-tech intellectual who fondly remembers the days when people used e-mail to communicate - or even actually spoke to one another. One evening, Doug disappears, leaving a single written clue: ALICE - a code word he and Anana devised to signal if one of them ever fell into harm's way.

Good One
Ms Like cake wrote such a heartfelt story of life de experiences in what most call the “free” USA. But is it really free for everyone or just the wealthy? Mr Graham did an excellent job narrating this work.

Lots of twists and turns
I enjoyed the twists and turns and the backstory of Jay and his willingness to figure out what the greater good is.

Is There an Abridged Version?
The only reason this book is getting three stars from me is because of the great narration by Dion Graham. If I'd been reading hard copy, I wouldn't have finished the book. It began with great promise and I was very excitied - good plot, great reader. Then the author went on long, boring, rambling accounts of political movements from back in the day, and labor union issues, and all sorts of other stuff that really didn't add anything to the plot and only marginally added to character development. At least half of this book could have been edited out. By three quarters in, I just wanted it to be OVER. And don't be fooled by the comparisons to Dennis Lehane and Greg Iles, two authors I love. Attica Locke is not even close.

interesting story
I really enjoyed the description of the racial struggles in Houston, and Texas in general. very interesting. At times I wondered how Jay could miss a certain angle and thought that 4he link between different story lines was uncessesarily convoluted. and I could not be more annoyed with the music at the end of each chapter. terrible idea.

Good story
The story of survivors of the civil rights movement must be told. This tale is more than a mystery. It is tells the reclamation of a man's dignity after tumult of life and the civil rights movement. I enjoyed this story very much.

Pleasant read, not earth shattering
Great characters, nice depiction of the realities of Houston. Its a bit slow in the middle and not as captivating as Locke's later novels, but ultimately it was a very pleasant listen.

An Impressive debut!
An interesting twist on a familiar story. Jay Porter's unique background and the backdrop of Houston all add to the feel of this story. Smart, believable dialogue and a varied cast of characters made this an easy listen.

Houston Crime Report n the 1980’s
Jay Porter is the “Easy Rawlins” of Houston, Texas, except he has a law degree. I enjoyed the story, the suspense, and the familiarity of all the locations since I’m a native Houstonian. Great read!
