"Even before they'd ever played a game, the Brooklyn Nets were outselling the New York Knicks in team apparel and merchandise. In their first season they ranked fourth in league-wide jersey sales, indicative of the trendy appeal and broad fan base. When the Nets played their first game at Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn in the fall of 2012, they succeeded in bringing professional sports back to Brooklyn for the first time since the Dodgers abandoned the borough in 1957. Now Brooklyn Bounce chronicles the historic first season, full of highs and lows--plenty of them entirely unexpected. Jake Appleman takes us inside the locker room, combining vignettes and interviews from the team's transition from the New Jersey swamp to gentrified Brooklyn, to an opening night delayed by Hurricane Sandy, to an epic seven-game playoff showdown with the Chicago Bulls. The Nets were the game's foremost paradox in 2013, a team that managed to be the most improved in the NBA, but also consistently disappointed. What made them interesting wasn't their style of play or even their unique collection of personalities; it was their constant state of re-invention and their evolving relationship with their new home: as the Barclays crowds would chant it, BrooOOOK-LYN!"--

For most cops, nightmares were just another unfortunate aspect of police work and Alex Taylor was no different. After a lifetime in law enforcement, she thought she had seen them all: The cold-hearted perpetrators, the horrific, blood-chilling crimes, the innocent victims. All that was supposed to have changed when she left the mean streets of Brooklyn and moved up to the tranquil, wooded mountains of New Hampshire, but now the unnerving nightly visions, of the one she couldn't save, are pushing her to the brink of a nervous breakdown. As Alex struggles to find some mental relief, she is suddenly thrust into a life or death encounter that quickly spirals out of control. In the aftermath, she finds herself in the unenviable position of being Monday morning quarterbacked by investigators and even begins to wonder if she can truly rely on own memories. As she tries to pick up the pieces, Alex is unaware that the real nightmare has only just begun.
