Book excerpt: Having been transferred from Athens to the island of Rhodes due to a serious error of judgement on a murder case, resulting from his somewhat unorthodox method of analysing evidence, the professional life of Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis is shrouded in frustration and bitterness. When the dead body of an English journalist is discovered on the rocks beneath the Lindos Acropolis in late June, 2001, his initial instinct is to assume it is a suicide. However, he soon discovers that it is murder. As the investigation proceeds in the picturesque little tourist village, elements of his previous unorthodox approach resurface, particularly those related to fondness for his pet subject of Greek mythology. Consequently, Karagoulis decides that there are two sets of conflicting explanations for the murder - one depicted by the Greek Goddess of deception, Apatê, and another, the truth, represented by the Goddess Aletheia - a point which he is not slow in making to his fellow investigating officers.

Book excerpt: This is the final part of a Lindos trilogy: Why would anyone stab someone to death and then want to prevent identification of the body by incinerating it in the beautiful tourist village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes? Who is the victim and who is their murderer? That is the mystery that confronts Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis in July 2010, just over four weeks before his retirement. Just like the InspectorÕs personal life, his attempts to identify the victim and find the killer also develop into a tangled web of possibilities, stretching far beyond Lindos.

Book excerpt: Inspector Bismark Pacheco, the most respected man in Costa Rica, would rather practice playing his tuba, but he is called to the mountain resort of Monteverde to investigate an armed robbery of a group of tourists from Sheboygan. Pacheco finds himself pitted against the oily professional criminal Delgado, masquerading as a bank vice president, and his hulking henchman, the evil Romulo. Journalist Wilson Abut writes it all down… the four muchachos who roam the cloud forest collecting quetzal feathers; Kenneth, the vodka-drinking poet who searches for meaning; Kaufmann, the mysterious Swiss businessman who has come to buy the town, and his gnomish valet Igor; Paco, the beer-swilling taxi driver who shaves on Tuesday and Thursday, and sings Cielito Lindo; Bonnie and Arnold, the UCLA students who came to see tropical birds and instead become kidnap victims; Dunbar, the Jamaican guide with the $1,000 binoculars, who ends up with an arrow through his throat. Pacheco and Luz Stella, his beautiful assistant, face death at the Monteverde Music Festival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for a mixed theory of legal punishment that treats both crime reduction and retribution as important aims of the state. A central question in the philosophy of law is why the state’s punishment of its own citizens is justified. Traditionally, two theories of punishment have dominated the field: consequentialism and retributivism. According to consequentialism, punishment is justified when it maximizes positive outcomes. According to retributivism, criminals should be punished because they deserve it. This book recognizes the strength of both positions. According to the two-tiered model, the institution of punishment and statutory penalties, as set by the legislature, are justified based on their costs and benefits, in terms of deterrence and rehabilitation. The law exists to preserve the public order. Criminal courts, by contrast, determine who is punished and how much based on what offenders deserve. The courts express the community’s collective sense of resentment at being wronged. This book supports the two-tiered model by showing that it accords with our moral intuitions, commonly held (compatibilist) theories of freedom, and assumptions about how the extent of our knowledge affects our obligations. It engages classic and contemporary work in the philosophy of law and explains the theory’s advantages over competing approaches from retributivists and other mixed theorists. The book also defends consequentialism against a longstanding objection that the social sciences give us little guidance regarding which policies to adopt. Drawing on recent criminological research, the two-tiered model can help us to address some of our most pressing social issues, including the death penalty, drug policy, and mass incarceration. This book will be of interest to philosophers, legal scholars, policymakers, and social scientists, especially criminologists, economists, and political scientists.
