Original.
Soledad "Bullet" O'Roark writes her own rules. Usually it gets her
in trouble. On her first day with the L.A.P.D.'s elite Mtac squad,
Soledad takes down an outlawed super-powered freak with a weapon
she designed herself-a definite violation. Her love life is no less
chaotic. It's hard to find a decent guy with nothing to hide. But
there's not much room in Soledad's life for romance when a
cop-killer is on the loose. The "baddest" freak of all, this one
can control people's minds and make them commit anything he
wants... including murder.
Young Jackie Mann knew one sure thing-the only way for a black man to achieve respect in 1950s America was to succeed no matter what the cost. And his ambition would take him from poverty and abuse in Harlem all the way to Las Vegas and Hollywood, where Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and the mob reigned supreme. But on the verge of superstardom, Jackie must choose between making it through the ultimate sellout-or gain true respect by risking it all… One of a unique new breed of writers, novelist and screenwriter John Ridley cross-wires genres, boundaries, and audience expectations to stunning effect. A CONVERSATION WITH THE MANN is his most evocative, brilliantly detailed, and unforgettable vision yet.
