From USA Today bestselling author, Deanna Chase, the first book in the Jade Calhoun series. HAUNTED ON BOURBON STREET Jade loves her new apartment--until a ghost joins her in the shower.

What she doesn't count on is making friends with an exotic dancer, attracting a powerful spirit, and developing feelings for Kane, her sexy landlord.

Except she'll need Kane's help--and he's betrayed her with a secret of his own--to do it. Can she find a way to trust him and herself before Pyper is lost?

The year was 1925, and New Orleans thrived in the paradox of its own unique heartbeat, the rhythmic pulse of jazz echoing through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, coiling around the wrought-iron balconies like the tendrils of a beguiling serpent. Gas lamps, flickering like distant stars, painted the cobblestone alleys with a sepia glow, casting shadows that danced to the soulful tunes pouring out of smoky jazz clubs. The city's heartbeat was jazz, an audible heartbeat that resonated from the pulsating heart of Basin Street to the dimly lit corners of Storyville. Trumpets wailed, saxophones wept, and the seductive melodies of the blues seeped into the very air, carrying the promise of hedonistic nights and clandestine rendezvous. Speakeasies, those secret sanctuaries of vice, flourished beneath the surface, hidden behind unmarked doors and guarded by watchful eyes. The Prohibition may have sought to silence the clinking of glasses, but in New Orleans, the clinking persisted, masked by the lively chatter of patrons enjoying the forbidden nectar of bootlegged spirits. The whispers of the Mississippi River, flowing with the untold tales of the city, mingled with the melodies that spilled onto the streets. Women in flapper dresses and men in sharp suits wove through the crowds, their laughter and hushed conversations adding to the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans nightlife. In this city of decadence and intrigue, where voodoo queens held court in dimly lit corners and the scent of gumbo lingered in the air like a bewitching perfume, secrets weren't buried; they were shared like lovers' whispers in the dark. The air in Sam Malone's office was thick with the acrid smell of cigarette smoke, the languid trails hovering like ghosts in the dim lamplight. Malone, a man well-acquainted with shadows, sat behind his worn mahogany desk, nursing a glass of bourbon that had seen better days. The flickering neon sign outside his window said: Private Investigator.

Shadows of Doubt reveals how deeply stereotypes distort our interactions, shape crime, and deform the criminal justice system. If you’re a robber, how do you choose your victims? As a police officer, how afraid are you of the young man you’re about to arrest? As a judge, do you think the suspect in front of you will show up in court if released from pretrial detention? As a juror, does the defendant seem guilty to you? Your answers may depend on the stereotypes you hold, and the stereotypes you believe others hold. In this provocative, pioneering book, economists Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi explore how stereotypes can shape the ways crimes unfold and how they contaminate the justice system through far more insidious, pervasive, and surprising paths than we have previously imagined. Crime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police officers, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people act as they try to commit, prevent, or punish crimes, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making. Sometimes it’s simple: Robbers tend to target those they stereotype as being more compliant. Other interactions display a complex and sometimes tragic interplay of assumptions: “If he thinks I’m dangerous, he might shoot. I’ll shoot first.” Shadows of Doubt shows how deeply stereotypes are implicated in the most controversial criminal justice issues of our time, and how a clearer understanding of their effects can guide us toward a more just society.
