Guardian Angel

Sara Paretsky
New York Times Bestseller: A Chicago PI trying to help her elderly neighbors ends up tangled in politics and a murder in this "fast-paced, complicated mystery" ( New York Daily News ). V.I. "Vic" Warshawski and her neighbor share responsibility for a currently pregnant dog--but Mr. Contreras complains that her detective work keeps her too busy to help with little Peppy. Still, that doesn't stop him from adding more to her plate by asking her to investigate the disappearance of his friend, a fellow retiree. At the same time, Vic's trying to look out for a vulnerable eighty-year-old down the street whose property is considered an eyesore by the newcomers gentrifying the neighborhood. When Mr. Contreras's friend turns up dead in a canal, and the old lady on the block winds up in the hospital, Vic is swept into a world of organized labor, money, and politics--and discovers a distressing personal connection to the case. Vic may not always succeed as a guardian angel--but when things go wrong, she can chase down the demons--in this suspenseful novel from the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and "crime-fiction pro" ( People ). "Paretsky's emphasis on character comes at no expense of action: Vic's investigation is as physical as it is mental, taking her inside Chicago's industrial world and up against bad guys who use everything from bats to heavy machinery to thwart her. Among today's PIs, nobody comes close to Warshawski." -- Publishers Weekly "The richest and most engaging yet of Ms. Paretsky's thrillers." -- The New York Times "Densely textured, adroitly plotted." -- Kirkus Reviews "One monster of a plot." -- Booklist

Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan His Life and Times

Stanley A. Wolpert
The volume traces the life of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto from the colourful days of his feudal ancestors to his imprisonment and hanging at the hands of a military dictatorship. Bhutto was a charismatic and contradictory man. He climbed to the heights of power with amazing swiftness, winning a seat in the central Cabinet of Pakistan at the unprecedented age of thirty. The author weaves Pakistan’s turbulent politics and repeated wars with India together with Bhutto’s ambitious manoeuvring, tracing his rise to Foreign Minister, the founding of his own political party, and finally leadership of the nation. The story of Bhutto’s sometimes inspiring, sometimes quixotic career is a fascinating one, and the author tells it brilliantly, through Bhutto’s triumphant years in the mid-1970s, the military coup in 1977, and his treacherous imprisonment and execution in 1979. The author’s intensively researched, engagingly written account captures the scheming, the grandeur, and the contradictions of one of modern history’s most fascinating figures.

The jobless future

Aronowitz, Stanley
High technology will destroy more jobs than it creates . This grim prediction was first published in the 1994 edition of The Jobless Future , an eerily accurate title that could have been written for today's dismal economic climate. Fully updated and with a new introduction by Stanley Aronowitz and William DiFazio, The Jobless Future warns that jobs as we know them-long-term, with benefits-are an endangered species.
