Pulitzer Prize–winning author

A U.S. war correspondent is plunged into the Mexican Civil War in this “whip-smart tale of intrigue and espionage” (CNN.com). Journalist Christopher Marlowe thinks he’s found his first big headline in the attempted assassination of a priest—the bullet miraculously rebounding off the holy man’s cross—but he's soon led into a far more dangerous story...

“A thinking person’s thriller.” —The Washington Post

First published in German in 1938 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger's collected works, The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics includes an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics and an elaboration of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger's concepts of organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely developed and defined with intensity.

This fifth, enlarged edition includes marginal notations made by Heidegger in his personal copy of the book and four new appendices—Heidegger's postpublication notes on the book, his review of Ernst Cassirer's Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, Heidegger's response to reviews by rudolf Odebrecht and Cassirer, and an essay "On the History of the Philosophical Chair since 1866." The work is significant not only for its illuminating assessment of Kant's thought but also for its elaboration of themes first broached in Being and Time.

Through a close reading of two presocratic philosophers, Heidegger demonstrates that all of Western philosophy is rooted in the question of Being.

Inspector Jefe Javier Falcón investigates a series of suspicious suicides in Seville, Spain, all while receiving ominous threats from the Russian mafia, in this “intricate [and] chilling” thriller by the author of The Blind Man of Seville (Publishers Weekly).

“Wilson builds a many-layered portrait of survivors and perpetrators, each consumed by rage, guilt, or depression.” —The Boston Globe

A perplexing murder leads a Spanish detective into the dangerous cultural tensions of Seville in this thriller by the author of A Small Death in Lisbon.

Members of the Greene family keep dying while the pool of possible perpetrators keeps shrinking. Philo Vance—the independently wealthy, staggeringly brilliant, not remotely modest (and did we mention handsome?) amateur sleuth—uses his detective skills to unravel the murders, though sadly not before most of the Greene family has been bumped off.

Philo Vance stumbles by coincidence onto the Scarab murder case—the name given to the brutal slaying of old philanthropist and art patron Benjamin H. Kyle. With the crime scene set in a famous Egyptologist’s private museum, the case is not without it's fair share of misleading clues. But no red herring stands a chance against Vance.

The rich people of Manhattan are getting bumped off one by one. Latest up: Arthur Coe, found dead in his own locked bedroom. Suicide? Philo Vance doesn’t buy that theory for a second.

“An intricate puzzle...[Vance] has an uncanny insight into the subtler aspects of crime.” —The New York Times
