In the Chicago Tribune, Alan Cheuse described Donald Pfarrer’s novel The Fearless Man as “the gold standard for any other fiction to come out about the [Vietnam] war.” Now, in this new novel, Pfarrer presents another kind of war, the one in America’s streets, with the same kind of excitement, style, and power. Steven McCord, a lieutenant of police in a fairly large midwestern city, has been coarsened by twenty years’ exposure to violence and cruelty. At forty-two, he has reached a crossroads in his career and in his life. He’s been entrusted with command of one of his city’s toughest districts, and as a senior lieutenant, he is poised for promotion to captain. But instead he’s studying law–because he wants out. His old mentor, Sergeant Hughes, fears that McCord will soon enter into that most contemptible of all legal specialties, criminal defense. McCord denies it, but in truth he doesn’t know exactly where he’s going to end up. Then comes the “common ordinary murder” of an old eccentric–a resident of McCord’s district–and with it a personal crisis for McCord. Having given up on God long ago, he now seems to be losing faith in humanity as well. But something about the case draws him, against his will, deeper into the lives of the victim and his family, pulling McCord back to a place where he will know again the passion and pain of being alive. Written in the intense, clear-cut style that is Donald Pfarrer’s trademark, A Common Ordinary Murder is a gripping story of crime and punishment; it is also the drama of one man’s test of love and strength. Advance praise for A Common Ordinary Murder: “A number of intriguing, complicated characters; a particularly heinous crime; solid police work; and a poignant sketch of a city in decline are good reasons to read this one . . . really an examination of faith, its loss, marriage, and love.” –Booklist From the Hardcover edition.

'Haunting ... lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned' Sunday Times 'A compelling whodunnit ... Devastating' Financial Times 'Transfixing' New York Times 'A powerful, unflinching account of misogyny, female shame and the notion of honour' Observer ___________________ A masterly and agenda-setting inquest into how the deaths of two teenage girls shone a light into the darkest corners of a nation Katra Sadatganj. A tiny village in western Uttar Pradesh. A community bounded by tradition and custom; where young women are watched closely, and know what is expected of them. It was an ordinary night when two girls, Padma and Lalli, went missing. The next day, their bodies were found – hanging in the orchard, their clothes muddied. In the ensuing months, the investigation into their deaths would implode everything that their small community held to be true, and instigated a national conversation about sex, honour and violence. The Good Girls returns to the scene of Padma and Lalli's short lives and shocking deaths, daring to ask: what is the human cost of shame?

Political or social groups wanting to commit mass murder on the basis of racial, ethnic or religious differences are never hindered by a lack of willing executioners. In Becoming Evil, social psychologist James Waller uncovers the internal and external factors that can lead ordinary people to commit extraordinary acts of evil. Waller debunks the common explanations for genocide- group think, psychopathology, unique cultures- and offers a more sophisticated and comprehensive psychological view of how anyone can potentially participate in heinous crimes against humanity. He outlines the evolutionary forces that shape human nature, the individual dispositions that are more likely to engage in acts of evil, and the context of cruelty in which these extraordinary acts can emerge. Illustrative eyewitness accounts are presented at the end of each chapter. An important new look at how evil develops, Becoming Evil will help us understand such tragedies as the Holocaust and recent terrorist events. Waller argues that by becoming more aware of the things that lead to extraordinary evil, we will be less likely to be surprised by it and less likely to be unwitting accomplices through our passivity.

This book presents vibrant, yet sad, depictions of several murders and the survivors left in their wake. A behind-the-scenes look, it encompasses the stories of several victims, ranging in age from 10 months to 75 years of age, i.e., from toddlers to grandfathers, and concomitantly, that of their families and friends. Ordinary Lives' portrayals are, unfortunately, too familiar to many citizens, since murders' reach is far beyond the victim, with sometimes unforeseeable lasting effects for their loved ones. It reflects the psychological, emotional and spiritual lens of grievants and survivors. It is a deeply moving account of the basest of human tragedies - murder! Through these stories, the author also builds upon and juxtaposes the often-asked questions and dilemmas presented in most homicides - motivations of the perpetrator and why? In the end, he endorses further discussion regarding significantly reducing the number of murders and its devastating and long-lasting effects.
