FROM THE PUBLISHER - IF GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ WROTE CRIME FICTION, HE MIGHT CREATE A DETECTIVE LIKE INSPECTOR ESPINOSA.' - THE BALTIMORE SUN. A sultry December night in Rio de Janeiro. A retired policeman spends a typically alcohol-filled evening with his girlfriend, a prostitute. When he wakes up the next morning, his wallet and car key are missing, his girlfriend has been murdered, and he can remember none of the events of the previous night. Called in to investigate is Inspector Espinosa, veteran detective and friend of the ex-cop. It's a seemingly open-and-shut case, but Espinosa is convinced there's more here than meets the eye, and when other bodies begin turning up, he finds himself not only racing a killer but falling in love. Hailed by critics for his existential sensibility, his exotic beat, and his literary merit' (San Francisco Chronicle), Inspector Espinosa won over American audiences with his debut in THE SILENCE OF THE RAIN. DECEMBER HEAT, the second in this bestselling Brazilian series, shares the first book's steamy evocation of exotic Rio de Janeiro, its singular narrative approach, and, above all, its highly appealing protagonist. And once again, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza delivers a story as unusual as it is complex, with a resolution sure to elude - and ultimately delight - even the most discerning crime readers. A distinguished academic, LUIZ ALFREDO GARCIA- ROZA is a critically acclaimed, bestselling novelist who lives in Rio de Janeiro. The first book in his crime series, THE SILENCE OF THE RAIN, was published in 2002 by Henry Holt; the third will be published in 2004. inventory #34266.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. God is known by the things He has said, done, and will do. His Word and Spirit created everything that was ever made, whether seen or unseen. The heavens above have such order and precision and show the extraordinary work of His power. He decorated the skyline with stars that cannot be counted and made one sun and one moon that give heat and light, day and night, times and seasons to everyone in every part of the world, every twenty-four hours, nonstop. God made Adam and Eve from the soil, fashioned them in His own image, and gave them life. Consider how unique the organs of the body are with specific functions, yet all work together to preserve life. David said to God, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works" (Ps. 139:14). He made veins that supply blood, giving life to every part of the body. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11). The human mind cannot even imagine the power of God's Word and His Spirit. He divided the waters between the earth and the heavens and replenishes the earth by using clouds to distribute water in the form of rain. He opened a path through the Red Sea, and the Israelites walked through it on dry ground. Our God can do abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine. To God be the glory! Othniel E. Lunan Sr. is a retired Evangelist and Pastor. He was converted at the age of seventeen and began a ministry of preaching at age 19.

Focusing on two ill-characterized subtypes of medulloblastoma (group 3 and group 4), this study identifies prevalent genomic structural variants that are restricted to these two subtypes and independently bring together coding regions of GFI1 family proto-oncogenes with active enhancer elements, leading to their mutually exclusive oncogenic activation. Structure of an Rrp6 RNA exosome complex bound to poly(A) RNA Elizabeth V. Wasmuth, Kurt Januszyk & Christopher D. Lima The exosome complex contains two catalytic subunits which degrade RNA in either a distributive (Rrp6) or a processive (Rrp44) manner previous structures indicated how RNA could be directed to Rrp44, but the path taken to Rrp6 was unclear, here the location of the Rrp6 catalytic domain and the RNA 3 end are determined and it is found that the RNA lies in an opposite orientation from that of the Rrp44-containing exosome structure, suggesting that the fate of an RNA may be influenced by the manner in which cofactors present it.
