Book Description
A serial killer targets the cops and judges of a small Midwestern city in this mystery thriller by the acclaimed author and former homicide detective. Detective Jack Murphy can read a crime scene like a book. When the naked, brutalized corpse of a narcotics cop is found, it’s not the body that tells him a sick killer is on the loose, but the monkey figurine—of the “see no evil” kind—shoved down the victim’s throat. It’s not a clue. It’s a message. When a high-profile judge is set on fire, another figurine left behind. Murphy has a guess what’s next. But even he’s in for a grim surprise. Because the torture-killer taking out the defenders of law and order across Evansville, Indiana, isn’t the only one with secrets. The victims might have a few, too . . .

Book Description
Using the designing and building of the Clock of the Long Now as a framework, this is a book about the practical use of long time perspective: how to get it, how to use it, how to keep it in and out of sight. Here are the central questions it inspires: How do we make long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare? Discipline in thought allows freedom. One needs the space and reliability to predict continuity to have the confidence not to be afraid of revolutions Taking the time to think of the future is more essential now than ever, as culture accelerates beyond its ability to be measured Probable things are vastly outnumbered by countless near-impossible eventualities. Reality is statistically forced to be extraordinary; fiction is not allowed this freedom This is a potent book that combines the chronicling of fantastic technology with equally visionary philosophical inquiry.
