It's not only secrets that are buried by the water... A gripping
crime thriller from bestseller master Nick LouthOn the tree-lined
banks of Surrey's River Wey, a decaying corpse is dug up by workmen
in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon burial site. His modern dental
fillings show that this is no Dark Age corpse... DCI Craig Gillard
is called in, but the body's condition makes identification
difficult. One man, however, seems to fit the bill: Ozzy Blanchard,
a contractor employed by the same water firm doing the digging who
disappeared six months ago, his crashed company car found nearby.
But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into
turmoil. A shard of metal lodged in his neck turns out to be part
of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists. Who wielded
this mystery weapon and why? Does the answer lie in a murderous
feud between two local families? The deeper Gillard digs, the more
shocking truths he will uncover. A totally original crime mystery
that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Body Amongst
the Willows is an absolute thrill-ride, perfect for fans of Michael
Connelly, Ann Cleeves and Mark Billingham.

Law today is incomplete, inaccessible, unclear, underdeveloped, and
often perplexing to those whom it affects. In The Legal
Singularity, Abdi Aidid and Benjamin Alarie argue that the
proliferation of artificial intelligence-enabled technology - and
specifically the advent of legal prediction - is on the verge of
radically reconfiguring the law, our institutions, and our society
for the better. Revealing the ways in which our legal institutions
underperform and are expensive to administer, the book highlights
the negative social consequences associated with our legal status
quo. Given the infirmities of the current state of the law and our
legal institutions, the silver lining is that there is ample room
for improvement. With concerted action, technology can help us to
ameliorate the law and our legal institutions. Inspired in part by
the concept of the "technological singularity," The Legal
Singularity presents a future state in which technology facilitates
the functional "completeness" of law, where the law is at once
extraordinarily more complex in its specification than it is today,
and yet operationally vastly more knowable, fairer, and clearer for
its subjects. Aidid and Alarie describe the changes that will
culminate in the legal singularity and explore the implications for
the law and its institutions.
