<p>Author and CrimeSpace member Dana King writes in his review of the book, "What makes this book stand out for me is Burnett's deft handling of the courtroom scenes. Don't expect to see Perry Mason breaking down a lying witness. The trial scenes are understated, but riveting, and advance the plot in oblique ways. Burnett trusts his reader enough to write scenes that may not seem particularly relevant at first, but will become so later on, so it behooves the reader to pay attention. The rewards are ample."</p>

<p><span>You've met her. Maybe not in person, but she appears in almost every James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler novel. Pulp fiction would have never gained an audience without her. She appears in movies and in novels of all types today. The femme fatale -- the sexy, seductive woman who leads men to destruction.</span></p>

<p><span>Women wonder why men are so stupid they can't recognize her for what she really is.</span></p>

<p><span>Women wonder why men are so stupid they can't recognize her for what she really is.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>You've met him. Maybe not in fiction, but in real life. In high school, he drove his muscle car too fast. He might have smoked cigarettes or messed a little with illicit drugs. He never follows the rules; only his own. There is a certain violence about him, either expressed or just below the surface. In literature, he is Stanley Kowalski. He appears regularly in romance novels and in almost every motorcycle movie. The bad boy -- the sexy, seductive boy/man who lives close to danger.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Men wonder why women are so stupid they can't recognize him for what he really is.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>The appeal of the femme fatale and the bad boy is the same: danger. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>A relationship with a femme fatale may lead to physical, spiritual, or financial destruction. A relationship with a bad boy may lead to lead to death and humiliation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>Neither will ever be June Cleaver baking cookies or Ward Cleaver, smoking his pipe and reading the newspaper and waiting for Wally and the Beaver to get home from school. Both will always be more intriguing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>The risk of danger and destruction make the femme fatale and the bad boy sexually exciting.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>The femme fatale and the bad boy are truly sister and brother.</span></p>

<p><em>The Past Never Ends</em>, a legal mystery by Jackson Burnett, is now available for the Kindle and Nook. A paper edition will be available soon from Amazon.com.</p>
<p>This is the upshot:</p>
<p>A simple task, Attorney Chester Morgan thinks. Get a copy of a public record for a young man whose only friend has died in an unexplained accidental death. Except...<br/><br/>The police file regarding the demise of sex worker Tanya Everly has been sealed by the order of the chief of police, and no one will talk. Warned to drop the matter, Attorney Morgan knows that if he doesn't speak for the dead young woman, no one will.<br/><br/>Haunted by his discovery of the body of a prominent local oilman, Morgan pursues a quest for justice that puts his reputation, career, and life at risk. A journey that takes him into the dark shadows of the sex-for-sale business, into the marble courtrooms of Oklahoma, and into the aching loneliness of his own soul. <br/><br/>Set in the American Southwest in the days before 9/11, The Past Never Ends is both a complex murder mystery and a meditation on the self-perpetuating nature of injustice and the ethereal nature of justice itself.</p>
<p></p>
<p>From a review at Amazon:</p>
<p><em>The Past Never Ends is finely crafted crime noir with compelling characters in a gritty, but not over-played, fictional Midwest town--a place that seems reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles, except we're in the middle of the country where money is scarce and those who have it hold on tight. Many wonderful components are utilized in the book--from dirty cops to rough and tumble criminals to all manner of strippers--and Burnett makes all these people seem real; Each has their own motivation and voice. Still, the main course here is mystery, which is both intriguing and deep. This lawyer turned sleuth chases other's secrets into the dark recesses of his own life. Nothing is two dimensional, giving the book both a cinematic feel and a true resonance. This book is a good read, compelling, finely crafted, and a fantastic mystery.</em></p>
