      Wer ist der erdrosselte Obdachlose, dessen Leiche in den Clifton Downs bei Bristol gefunden wird, und warum musste er sterben? DS George Cross kann mit sozialen Konventionen nichts anfangen, für seine Kollegen ist er oft schwierig im Umgang. Doch dank seiner Besessenheit für Logik, Muster und jedes noch so kleine Detail, ist seine Aufklärungsrate die beste der ganzen Einheit. Und so hegt er sofort Zweifel, als seine Kollegen nach einem Leichenfund in einem Bristoler Park zu dem Schluss kommen, dass der Tod des Mannes die Folge eines Streits unter Obdachlosen sein muss. Cross beginnt, in der Vergangenheit des Opfers zu graben, und merkt schnell, dass es Verbindungen zu einem alten Fall gibt. Einem Mord, der fünfzehn Jahre nicht aufgeklärt wurde. Und der Täter hat nicht vor, sich nach so vielen Jahren von diesem exzentrischen Kommissar das Handwerk legen zu lassen … Intelligent, feinfühlig und unglaublich fesselnd: der grandiose Auftakt einer Krimireihe mit einem einzigartigen Ermittler!

    • The world is full of organizational cynics. Look around. Heck, look in the mirror. We sit in our cubes, adjust our chairs, sharpen our pencils and stare at our computer screens with the sense that we're immersed in dysfunction. We could, we're sure, do a far better job of running things if we were given the chance. But we know we won't get the chance and so sink into doubt, distrust, and pessimism. But it doesn't have to be that way. In THE ORG, authors Ray Fishman and Tim Sullivan take readers through the logic of organizations using basic economic principles as their guide. Examining why organizations exist in the first place, THE ORG explores the tradeoffs that every corporation faces- from how to select members to how to inspire and discipline them-and then looks at the components of the whole structure from cubicle dwellers to CEOs. Using the tools of organizational economics, THE ORG provides readers with a concrete, logical, and practical way of thinking about how organizations ought to work. The insights unearthed in THE ORG may surprise you and may also explain how, with a few tweaks, the dysfunctional nature of today's office may nonetheless provide the ideal structure for getting the job done.

      This is a story of the attitudes and thoughts of people in politics during the late fi fties and sixties. The explosion of the Black population and their steady migration westward from their historic enclaves on the East Side of Chicago was starting to be felt. The river wards controlled by the Italian "Mafi a" had enough control left for just one last great power surge for the Kennedy Election. Shortly after that election they were neutralized and changed by election irregularity investigations and redistricting and the abovementioned migration. The advent of voting machines throughout Chicagoland also changed the way the old precinct captains could change election results by manipulating paper ballots. The characters depicted in this story are not based on any current or deceased people. Any resemblance is purely coincidental
