    • En teoría, Steve Jones es un profesor estelar de Derecho en una Universidad de élite en Miami, con credenciales impresionantes y una larga lista de logros académicos. Pero hay un lado que el profesor Jones solo muestra a unos pocos: es un prolífico asesino en serie. Los detectives Carlos García y Wayne Briggs son un dúo dinámico en el Departamento de Policía de Miami-Dade. En su escritorio hay una pila creciente de casos de asesinato sin resolver. Los dos están preparados para hacer lo que sea necesario para acabar con el escurridizo asesino y hacer justicia por la larga lista de víctimas. Pero, en un juego mortal del gato y el ratón, ¿podrán ser más astutos que su oponente antes de que se pierda otra vida?

    • Capturing the essence of Szczuczyn, the town's photographer documented not only its architecture and events but also the joyful moments of its Jewish community, including Purim celebrations and family gatherings. The vivid images contrast sharply with the tragic fate that awaited nearly 3,000 Jews, who remained unaware of the impending disaster. Thought-provoking essays by Jonathan Rosen and Jeffrey Shandler provide context, linking the photographs to broader themes of loss and memory, reminiscent of the poignant imagery used in the aftermath of September 11.

      This book examines the nature of transnational organized crime and gangs, and how these diverse organizations contribute to violence, especially in so-called fragile states across Central and Latin America. While the nature of organized crime and violence differs depending on the context, the authors explain how and why states plagued by weak institutions tend to foster criminal organizations and violence, and why counter-crime initiatives often result in higher levels of violence. By examining the consequences of tough on crime policies (e.g., mano dura ) in places like Mexico, El Salvador, and Colombia, the volume offers a new perspective on the link between state fragility, crime, and violence.
