The Berlin Murder Squad
Berlin, 1923. A defeated capital of a devastated nation. A city roiling with revolution and economic unrest. And stalked by a savage murderer. Dubbed 'Alpine Joe" by the police, he is killing the lower-class denizens of the Wedding District-whores, pimps, the elderly, the homeless. Equally adept with a gun or a knife, Alpine Joe is terrorizing the city with his vicious one-man crime spree. The man selected to stop him is Inspector Ernst Lohmann, a dedicated and humane policeman still fighting his own demons from the memories of the trenches of the Great War. "The Berlin Murder Squad" is the story of these two men and the story of a new age in history, populated with new criminals, new ideologies-and new monsters.

Homer
Provides insight into two of Homer's epic poems along with a short history of the man and his life.
Homeric Voices
Homeric Voices is a study, from a compositional point of view, of the substantial speeches and exchanges of speech that Homer depicts in his songs. Drawing on research in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and cognitive psychology, Elizabeth Minchin considers the words that Homer attributes to his characters from two perspectives, as cognitive and as social phenomena. She asks how the poet worked with memory to generate the speech forms that he represents; and how Homeric speech constructs and reveals the social hierarchies that are bound up with age, status, and gender - with particular interest in gender - in the world of the poems.
The Song of the Sirens
In this collection of his essays on Homer, some new and some appearing for the first time in English, the distinguished scholar Pietro Pucci examines the linguistic and rhetorical features of the poet's works. Arguing that there can be no purely historical interpretation, given that the parameters of interpretation are themselves historically determined, Pucci focuses instead on two features of Homer's rhetoric: repetition of expression (formulae) and its effects on meaning, and the issue of intertextuality.
