  From the author of Witches, a gripping, kaleidoscopic tale of two women in 1940s Mexico—one whose daughter has just been kidnapped and another who has just adopted a little girlWhen the kidnapping of a little girl shocks the Mexican capital, the lives of two very different women become forever intertwined. Gloria Felipe lives a comfortable upper-class life with her husband and five children. Nuria Valencia comes from a working-class background and has been desperately trying to get pregnant in order to save her marriage. After traditional methods produce no results, she subjects herself to horrific fertility treatments designed and administered by men, and ultimately tries to adopt but is rejected on the basis that a woman in her early thirties is too old to adopt a baby. Failed time and again by the system and about to lose hope, she is presented with an opportunity that seems almost too good to be true.Through the eyes of a wry unnamed narrator, we witness the battle of the Felipe family to recover their youngest member and the anguished attempts of the Valencia family to save their daughter from potential danger. With the twists and turns of a thriller, and Brenda Lozano's sharp yet poignant sense of humor, the novel asks how far mothers are willing to go in the name of love for their children, and at what cost.

  This work, 
  	as a literary experience where individual tragedies and collective hopes intertwine, brings the global crises of the 21st century—war, migration, data exploitation, ecological collapse—to a political stage with poetic language and dramatic scenes. 
  	This manifesto, stretching from the ruins of Gaza to the ancient wisdom of Gobeklitepe and beyond to a new global community of peoples, describes a radical journey from destruction to rebirth. 
  	It reinterprets Marx's theory of the conflict between productive forces and production relations through the invisible proletariat of the digital age. 
  	The transformation from classical factory work to the platform economy, from cognitive and cultural labor to the data proletariat working under the surveillance of algorithms, opens up a discussion on the pluralistic and networked nature of the new revolutionary subject. 
  	The Global Humanity Assembly, established with elected representatives of human communities in place of nation-states, envisions the common future of humanity as both a literary vision, a political call, and an academic analysis. 
  	This hybrid work bridges theory and fiction, redefining the transformative human subject of our time with aesthetic, political, and theoretical intensity. 
  	Haşim Korkmaz transforms legal insight, historical depth, and visionary fiction into a call for humanity to govern itself. 
  	Not through states, but through conscience. 
  	Not through power, but through solidarity.

  Book 11: Psychic VisionsShunned by her friends, betrayed by her lover, charged with murder. Rinse, repeat.After being acquitted of murder, botanist Fern Geller tells herself she's turning her back on the past. She intends to learn everything she can about poisonous plants by completing a six-month contract at the Garden of Death. Only then does she find the answer she seeks. But, when she returns to the conservatory where the first murder took place, she discovers the new boss is missing and several others are dead. Fern is once again the chief suspect. FBI agent London Behring should know best that appearances can be deceptive, and deadly. Fern is as beautiful as an angel, and just as gentle. He can hardly believe someone would accuse her of murder. The first set of murder charges against her had been dismissed. The question is, why would she come back to the scene of the crime – at the very moment she would fall under suspicion a second time? Does she possess the seeds of malice that would be required to walk away after committing so many crimes? The one thing London knows he needs to do is keep his guard up at all times while he finds out the truth. Fern's charm could prove to be the very lure that's impossible for him to resist.

  When Rachel Murdock and her sister Jennifer receive a call for help from their favorite niece, Lilly, in Breakers Beach, California, they quickly hop a train from Los Angeles to see her—but not before collecting their prized cat Samantha in a picnic basket and bringing her along for the ride. Samatha, it turns out, is an heiress, the inheritor of a fortune left by a wealthy relative, and so the attempt at the cat's life, made right after they arrive, comes as a shock. The cat survives, but unfortunately, Lilly, murdered soon thereafter, is not so lucky. 
   
   
   
  By the time the police arrive, the clues are already falling into place. The source of Lilly's trouble is revealed to be a gambling debt incurred during an attempt to cheat at bridge, and the suspects in her slaying quickly pile up. But then another corpse is discovered, buried in the nearby sand, and it becomes clear that the killing spree concerns more than just the young lady's personal money trouble. With the authorities distracted by lurid details, it's up to Rachel and her furry friend to uncover the subtleties containing the solution to the puzzle. 
   
   
   
  A prototypical early "cat mystery," written before the subgenre became a staple of cozy mystery fiction, The Cat Saw Murder is an entertaining and endlessly surprising whodunit.
