The literary underworld is full of surprises. The ex-sergeant Pucci, retired marshal, will have to deal, against his will, with the inexplicable disappearance of the copies of the novel "Tartare bread and sauce," the last book of a provincial writer, pretentious and vain intriguer, and all her court of eccentric and amusing characters worthy of the best Italian comedy. However, what that, as usual, looks like a "poor and easy" case, it will turn into the search of a dangerous and fleeing assassin instead. Pucci will succeed in the enterprise, in a windmill of amusing and unpredictable adventures. It is the Piedmontese province and the province (it is known) it is always rich in strangeness and mysteries... From the same author of "A common case," another amazing Italian thriller.

" ÒA woman was sitting on the witness stand, and the lawyer asked her, ÔDid you, or did you not, on the night of June 23rd have sex with a hippie on the back of a motorcycle in a peach orchard?Õ She thought for a few minutes, then said, ÔWhat was that date again?ÕÓÑfrom the book Lawyers have long been known as master storytellers, and those from Kentucky are certainly no exception. Veteran oral historian and folklorist Lynwood Montell has collected tales from dozens of lawyers and judges from throughout the Bluegrass State, ranging from the story about the tough Jackson County judge who fined himself for being late to court to unwelcome dogs in the courtroom. Recorded just as they have been told for generations, these stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad or frightening, sometimes raw and harrowing, but always remarkable. Far more than collection of lawyer jokes, Tales from Kentucky Lawyers recounts the most insightful, entertaining, and occasionally heartbreaking stories ever told by and about Kentucky lawyers and their clients, covering the spectrum from arson to homicide, domestic disagreements to sexual abuse, and everything in between. Tales from Kentucky Lawyers is a valuable resource for folklorists as well as an entertaining and vivid account of the often-surprising legal world.

The Global Study on Homicide 2013 is based on comprehensive data from more than 200 countries/territories, and examines and analyses patterns and trends in homicide at the global, regional, national and sub-national levels. Such analysis is fundamental to understanding the various factors and dynamics that drive homicide, so that measures can be developed to reduce violent crime. The Study provides a typology of homicide, including homicide related to crime, coexistence-related homicide, and socio-political homicide. The nature of crime in several countries emerging from conflict, the role of various mechanisms in killing, and the response of the criminal justice system to homicide are also analyzed. A further chapter examines homicide at the sub-national level, and includes analysis at the city-level for selected global cities.
