This powerful novel, Tolstoy's third major masterpiece, after War
and Peace and Anna Karenina, begins with a courtroom drama (the
finest in Russian literature) all the more stunning for being based
on a real-life event. Dmitri Nekhlyudov, called to jury service, is
astonished to see in the dock, charged with murder, a young woman
whom he once seduced, propelling her into prostitution. She is
found guilty on a technicality, and he determines to overturn the
verdict. This pitches him into a hellish labyrinth of Russian
courts, prisons and bureaucracy, in which the author loses no
opportunity for satire and bitter criticism of a state system (not
confined to that country) of cruelty and injustice. This is Dickens
for grown-ups, involving a hundred characters, Crime and Punishment
brought forward half a century. With unforgettable set-pieces of
sexual passion, conflict and social injustice, Resurrection
proceeds from brothel to court-room, stinking cells to offices of
state, luxury apartments to filthy life in Siberia. The ultimate
crisis of moral responsibility embroils not only the famous author
and his hero, but also you and me. Can we help resolve the eternal
issues of law and imprisonment?

Dogs have long been man's best friend, but the Bug Man's friends
is a rare breed . . . the cadaver dog.
All roads lead to the White House for John Henry Braden, the
charismatic senator from Virginia aristocracy whose beautiful wife
Victoria is the talk of Washington and the crown jewel of Endor,
her backwoods Virginia hometown.
But when bodies turn up on Braden's property--the site of a
multimillion dollar construction project he's spearheading--the
senator's spin doctors, led by his future first lady, must act
quickly to quell a conspiracy before it blemishes their
presidential campaign.
Enter entomologist Nick Polchak, the quirky bug expert enlisted
to determine if the senator's bone yard is a forgotten cemetery or
a crime scene.
To help with the investigation, Polchak follows local legend to
Alena Savard, a mysterious woman known for her ability to turn
mongrels into the best search dogs around. They soon find
themselves on the trail of a desperate individual bent on
protecting a terrible secret.
"Less than Dead" is an unforgettable tale of crime and
concealment in the corridors of high-stakes politics--as well as in
the deepest contours of the human heart.
