Book Description
A woman imprisoned for murder must rely on a cold case investigator to clear her name in this tense crime thriller. When Carrie was accused of brutally murdering her husband’s lover, she denied it. Even when they found her blood inside his house. Even when they sent her to prison. Now three years into her fifteen-year sentence, she’s gradually losing hope and separated from her pregnant daughter. Tess works for a charity that helps clear people wrongfully convicted of crimes. Though the charity has accepted Carrie’s case, Tess has learned not to trust too easily—her assumption is that “they’re all lying.” Meanwhile, Tess is also mentoring Avril, a naïve young investigator-in-training. When new information comes to light that could prove Carrie’s innocence, the cold case is blown wide open. But as Tess and Avril work the case, re-interviewing witnesses and questioning every assumption, the tension ratchets up in both the case and Tess’s personal life.

Name and Naming
Author: Oliviu Felecan
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443838071
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
Name and Naming: Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives aims to analyse names and the act of naming from an intercultural perspective, both synchronically and diachronically. The volume is divided into four main parts (Theory of Names, Anthroponomastics, Toponomastics, Names in Society), which are, in turn, organised into thematic chapters and subchapters. The book sets to offer a bird’s-eye view of names and naming; this synthesis is made possible, on the one hand, by the blending of synchronic and diachronic viewpoints in the investigation of language facts and, on the other, by the fruitful conjunction of modern and classic theories. The originality and the novelty of the subject lies in the multi-disciplinary approach, in which the field of onomastics merges with that of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, pragmatics, history, literature, stylistics, religion, etc. The thematic diversity also derives from the meeting, within the pages of this book, of specialists (35 linguists and literati) from 11 countries on three continents.
