Lured by a five-million dollar prize, six gamblers are trapped by their own greed and find themselves playing against each other for their lives in a deadly game of chance. People begin to disappear as a maniacal sociopath plays at his own twisted game. That's wher I come in, white horse and all.My name is Nick Thomas. I'm a struggling but contented mystery writer whose noble intentions and errant judgement often lead me into precarious situations that take resource and imagination to survive. That's where I begin to shine.I'm a Viet Nam vet, recovering alcoholic, and self-proclaimed philosopher of life who lives in an old cottage by the sea on Cape Cod. I wear blue jeans, listen to the Rolling Stones, drive a tempermental old MG, and I am indeed a lucky man. I've been given a second chance in life. I have a great woman by my side, good friends who are there when I need them, and I'm doing what I love to do. Sounds perfect, right? But as always, life laughs while we make our contented way.

The importance of discourse markers (words like 'so', 'however', and 'well') lies in the theoretical questions they raise about the nature of discourse and the relationship between linguistic meaning and context. They are regarded as being central to semantics because they raise problems for standard theories of meaning, and to pragmatics because they seem to play a role in the way discourse is understood. In this new and important study, Diane Blakemore argues that attempts to analyse these expressions within standard semantic frameworks raise even more problems, while their analysis as expressions that link segments of discourse has led to an unproductive and confusing exercise in classification. She concludes that the exercise in classification that has dominated discourse marker research should be replaced by the investigation of the way in which linguistic expressions contribute to the inferential processes involved in utterance understanding.
