Описание: Evolution and Conversion explores the main tenets of Ren? Girard's thought in a series of dialogues. Here, Girard reflects on the evolution of his thought and offers striking new insights on topics such as violence, religion, desire and literature. His long argument is a historical one in which the origin of culture and religion is reunited in the contemporary world by means of a reinterpretation of Christianity and an understanding of the intrinsically violent nature of human beings. He also offers provocative re-readings of Biblical and literary texts and responds to statements by Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins. Including an introduction by the authors, this is a revealing text by one of the most original thinkers of our time.

Can Homicide Inspector Hailey Wyatt solve a murder that might lead back to her very own family? Even if it means revealing a secret that she vowed she'd die to keep? "Addictive. A thrilling ride you won't be able to put down until the very last page." Two of San Francisco's most powerful residents are murdered. Is their killer making a political statement? Or is it more personal?
Homicide Inspector Hailey Wyatt is only just pulling her life back together after being recently widowed, when the case falls in her lap. The case has the media in a frenzy and the brass in a panic. The entire city is on high alert.
The evidence makes it impossible to deny that Hailey's family is at the center of the case.
Rumors in the department are that the assignment has nothing to do with her investigative ability and everything to do with her senator father-in-law.
The police chief's message is clear. Solve the case. Quickly. Or else.
The deeper they dig, the more questions arise, and the more troubling the case becomes. As the evidence points closer to home, Hailey's partner questions her dedication to the pursuit of justice.
Because Hailey has secrets of her own. Secrets she's vowed to protect. Secrets she's willing to die for.
Fans of Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh, Karin Slaughter and James Patterson are going to love Danielle Girard.

Sex Crimes Inspector Jamie Vail is back.
When the daughter of San Francisco socialites is brutally assaulted, Jamie Vail makes it her mission to find the attacker. A seasoned inspector with the SFPD, work is what Jamie does best. She isn't distracted by the fact that her adopted son and the victim go to the same school.
"Wow, just wow The twists and turns in this book were amazing."
Jamie can almost set aside the fact that the man caught on tape with the victim is someone she's been wary of for years--her son's biological father.
At home, her son is performing poorly in school, becoming more reclusive, and nothing she does can draw him out.
More frightening is the fact that every piece of evidence brings her closer to home...
As her case escalates into a homicide investigation, Jamie teams up with old allies and Rookie Club members from across the department. Loyalties are tested and the stakes rise as the case becomes front-page news and the spotlight lands on her and her son, who have everything to lose.
With his future on the line, Jamie must find Charlotte's attacker to prove her son's innocence before he lands behind bars, or worse... PRAISE FOR EVERYTHING TO LOSE AND THE ROOKIE CLUB SERIES:

For San Francisco Sex Crimes Inspector Jamie Vail, no case has ever hit closer to home.

She shouldn't care. She tells herself she doesn't... until she learns that the details of the murder are eerily similar to the case she is working.

Now, Jamie must confront her past and solve the murder of her ex-husband's lover to stop a serial rapist. But he has Jamie in his sights and time is running out before she becomes the killer's ultimate prize.
