Entombed
Series heroine Alexandra Cooper, head of Manhattan's sex crimes unit, returns in a novel that might have been titled "Nevermore,": focused as it is on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. When the body of a two-decades-old skeleton is found bricked up behind a wall in a soon-to-be-demolished building where Poe once lived, it looks like a very cold case indeed. But then that old murder is linked to a more current slaying, one that at first looks like the work of the Silk Stocking Rapist, Alex's old enemy, who terrorized the upper East Side of Manhattan several years ago but hasn't been heard from since.
A classy blond, a beautiful yacht, an island in the Bahamas -- every man's dream. But for Ingram it's a nightmare. It starts when he agrees to help find Dragoon, a vanished schooner. The money isn't much -- but the statuesque blond who hires him is! Now it looks like he's going to get deep-sixed. Run hard aground, pinned down by rifle fire and sitting on top of a bilge full of gasoline, something's going to blow!

This book examines the notion of a law of obligations as a conceptual category in itself; and, in doing this, it presents the foundational material in a context that draws on some comparative and theoretical ideas while, at the same time, emphasising the special characteristics of the common law. The book is specifically designed to act as an introduction to the legal research skills of reasoning and method. It also looks at the foundations of civil liability in a way that emphasises the interrelationship of source materials, problem solving and conceptual analysis and justification.
