<P>在後院，安靜地聽歌——【秘密後院】之【靜 • 樂】系列主题专场】</P><P>
城市這麼大，我們該去哪里懷念呢？
我們究竟該向前還是退後，展望亦或追憶？
內外動靜，進退古今；不同心靈，該怎樣各取所需？
對後院而言，追憶是一種態度。這種態度就是——與時俱退。
退，是一種方向，一種選擇。
退，不是陳舊迂腐，不是不思進取。退，只是以另一種更恰當的方式走得更遠更深。
在恰當的時候，重回自己個體的內心，重回包容並延續我們個體生命的文化源流。
至少，在如此嘈雜的城市，我們義無反顧地選擇了安靜的歌唱。
【靜】，是2007秘密後院延續整年的演出主題。
靜而不溺，沉而不滯；悲而不傷，低而不迷。
天地之大，一心靜之。
【秘密後院】之【靜 ? 樂】專場

Mason Hunt, the protagonist of Martin Clark''''s powerful novel, "The Legal Limit," is one of those smart country boys who make it, despite the odds. Reared by a mother [url=http://www.biztrademarket.com/company_Desk-Bedside-and-Floor-Standing-Lamps_5_45_294.htm]floodlight[/url] struggling to make ends meet with factory work, he lands a job as the commonwealth''''s attorney in his Virginia hometown, Stuart.
Meanwhile, his deadbeat brother, Gates, [url=http://www.floodlightdesign.com/]www.floodlightdesign.com[/url] is serving a 44-year sentence for drug dealing, a fact that the arclight locals don''''t hold against Mason.
But Mason and his brother share a secret. While Mason was in law school, he watched his brother kill a man who was vying for Gates'''' girlfriend. Together, they covered up the crime.
Nearly two decades later, the wayward brother is tired of sitting in jail. After all, a brother that well-connected in the legal system could surely pull a few strings and get Gates released early. Otherwise, he might have to mention his brother''''s role in the murder and subsequent cover-up.
Maybe even reverse their roles and claim Mason was the shooter.
Mason, a widower raising his only child alone, [url=http://www.biztrademarket.com/company_Desk-Bedside-and-Floor-Standing-Lamps_5_45_294.htm]floodlight[/url] is understandably unwilling to be coerced into a blackmailing scheme or to go to prison as a wrongfully convicted murderer.
"I will kill Gates Hunt before I let my daughter lose another parent," he tells himself.
But once the cops begin investigating his brother''''s kiis fm claim, Mason might be facing more than he can handle.
At this point, halfway through the book, "The Legal Limit" becomes an edge-of-your-seat legal thriller. Before that, though, it meanders along at a country-lane pace, documenting Mason''''s rise as a lawyer and his subsequent return to rural life.
It''''s an enjoyable journey. Clark, a circuit judge who lives in Stuart, knows his novel''''s turf intimately, and his ear for dialogue and attention to the details of his rural setting are superb.
Once the investigation begins, though, the pace quickens, and the nature imagery turns predatory.
When two investigators first interview Mason about his brother''''s claim, Clark writes that their patient questioning "reminded Mason of the summer toads at the farm, always biding their time beneath a floodlight or brightened transom, vigilant brown lumps watching . . . watching . . . watching . . . watching, waiting for a gnat or moth to dip too deep and become food for a sticky, darting tongue."
The issues at play in "The Legal Limit" are weighty -- among them, the bond (and limit) of fraternal loyalty and the subtle distinction between justice and the law. Clark manages to make [url=http://www.floodlight.co.uk/]www.floodlight.co.uk[/url] them emotionally compelling, rather than programmatic -- no mean feat.
But that shift to nail-biting thriller is a rush, and readers watch the dark knight online may find themselves taking sides on the philosophical issues only after they have finished the book.
Unlike a lot of summer books, "The Legal Limit" [url=http://www.biztrademarket.com/company_Desk-Bedside-and-Floor-Standing-Lamps_5_45_294.htm]floodlight[/url] isn''''t a guilty pleasure. Take it to the beach and turn the pages breathlessly. Then mull over its deeper themes on that long ride home.
