Undead dancers, underhanded management…and a deadly opera ghost in 1890s Paris! Now comfortably wealthy for the first time in her life, Miss Dark finds herself looking forward to her crew’s newest assignment at the Paris Opera. Certainly, it’s tough luck on the tenor whose grisly death has put an unceremonious halt to the new Wagner production. But helping Vasily to steal the Paris Opera in the guise of a squabbling married couple could be exactly the introduction to high society Molly has been itching for. Miss Nijam, meanwhile, has always longed to solve a murder, and helping her to evade the death-traps littered around the Opera might finally give Alphonse Schmidt the opportunity to confess his feelings. And Mimi Laine, whose talents as a cat-burglar have always outstripped her abilities as a ballerina, is eager for her long-awaited chance to study with a master, the mysterious M Christophe. But life isn’t easy for a crew of thieves who’ve relinquished their burglar to the pursuit of Art. And meanwhile, ballerinas like Mimi are disappearing into the depths of the Opera. If Molly and her crew can’t solve the mystery of the Opera Ghost, one of their own might be next… Leverage meets The Phantom of the Opera in the next thrilling episode of Miss Dark’s Apparitions, a gaslamp series of ghostly mayhem! Follow Miss Dark and her chaotic crew into the deadly catacombs of the Paris Opera - read A Stab in the Dark today!

Paul Knox, secret agent for the U.S. Government, had been around. But never had he seen anything as vicious as this new twist in the blackmail racket. Wealthy and prominent people were being exposed to international scandal, the kind that could give not merely themselves but their nation a black eye, and it had to be stopped. Further, it was known that the criminal ring was about to expand. But when Paul found his only contact had been stabbed through the eye with an icepick, he realized several things: first, his own life was in immediate peril; second, he could trust no one on either side of the law; and third, with no more leads to follow, his only hope was a Stab in the Dark.

"Yet, many of the most important medical figures during Freeman's time lent their support to his work, effectively pulling lobotomy into the mainstream of medical practice. Many of Freeman's patients, some of them writing and speaking with astonishing clarity, observed how their lobotomies had changed them for the better. So how is it that both physicians and patients supported a procedure that today seems outrageous, even barbaric? And why did Freeman remain a forceful proponent of lobotomy even after most other physicians abandoned it in favor of newer forms of psychiatric treatment?".

Externalism about knowledge is thriving in contemporary epistemology. Nonetheless, externalism is too often caricatured as merely reliabilism, too often reduced to simply externalism about justification, and rarely considered as a cohesive family of related but importantly different views. Externalism About Knowledge addresses all of these issues by bringing new essays from leading externalist epistemologists working on seven different branches of this tradition: process reliabilism, tracking views, safety views, virtue epistemology, proper functionalism, naturalized epistemology, and knowledge first epistemology. This collection highlights their unity, their differences, their interconnections, and their most recent challenges, developments, and extensions.

This volume brings out the varieties of forms of philosophical skepticism that have continued to preoccupy philosophers for the past of couple of centuries, as well as the specific varieties of philosophical response that these have engendered — above all, in the work of those who have sought to take their cue from Kant, Wittgenstein, or Cavell — and to illuminate how these philosophical approaches are related to and bear upon one another. The philosophers brought together in this volume are united by the thought that a proper appreciation of the depth of the skeptical challenge must reveal it to be deeply disquieting, in the sense that skepticism threatens not just some set of theoretical commitments, but also-and fundamentally-our very sense of self, world, and other. Second, that skepticism is the proper starting point for any serious attempt to make sense of what philosophy is, and to gauge the prospects of philosophical progress.
