Time may be real and predictable, but the perception of time is variable, depending upon one’s brain processing speed.
At least that is Duke Livermore’s theory. The problem is, other professors at the University of Mississippi are better able to pursue research concerning the theory: Duke’s theory.
Modern scientific research is fraught with unforseen consequences, and this becomes evident as Duke develops gnawing doubts about the trustworthiness of one of his colleagues, Dr. Kirkwood Swartz, a physiologist he suspects is conducting unethical research that could cost Duke his life.

Jerome LaRocca is a middle-aged, happily married advertising guy with a breezy personality, who begins to experience disturbing flashbacks related to his life from the time he was five years old. The flashbacks are filled with a lot he remembers about his past, as well as some brutal events and actions he does not remember or believe he could have done. LaRocca seeks out a psychologist friend for advice and assistance. The psychologist believes Jerome is experiencing classic dissociate disorder syndrome, a splitting into other personalities, and tries to help him from that perspective.
Because the flashbacks are so bizarre, LaRocca believes he is being manipulated, for some unknown reason, by forces from the real “Dark Side.”
Hank Fisher is not your typical first-year criminal defense lawyer. Acting more like Sherlock Holmes than Oliver Wendell Holmes in the courtroom, he exonerates clients by catching the real bad guys.
His unconventional victories come at the chagrin of his larger-than-life boss, Mac, who prefers to pull the twelfth juror from the brink of conviction the old-fashioned way, through an artful cross-examination and an impassioned closing argument. But before the dysfunctional duo can rescue... Read more
