MALING, ARTHUR

The Rheingold Route (Gollancz Thriller)

London: Victor Gollancz, 1979. First Edition. Original Boards. ISBN: 0575027134. With dustjacket in protective cover. Not price-clipped. Light wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; "The Rheingold Route" by Arthur Maling is an intriguing thriller that delves deep into the heart of international intrigue. The novel takes its name from the famous Rheingold Express, a symbol of luxury and European grandeur, which serves as the backdrop for a riveting tale of theft, deceit, and mystery. Maling's proficiency in crafting multifaceted characters and his meticulous attention to plot intricacies are on full display in this work. The narrative centers around a well-orchestrated crime that embroils a diverse cast of characters in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Maling's protagonist in this tale, distinct from the earlier incorrect reference, is characterized by a combination of wit, grit, and a profound sense of justice. This character's journey through the labyrinthine plot, filled with unexpected twists and turns, showcases the author's ability to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Maling's writing style, marked by crisp dialogue and vivid descriptions, brings the settings—from the plush interiors of the Rheingold Express to the various European locales—alive, immersing the reader in a world that is at once luxurious and perilous. The historical and cultural richness of the train's route adds a layer of depth to the story, enriching the narrative and providing a unique backdrop against which the drama unfolds. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred lines between right and wrong permeate "The Rheingold Route," inviting readers to ponder the nature of crime and justice. Maling's exploration of these themes, coupled with his skillful plot construction and character development, results in a novel that is not only thrilling but also thought-provoking. In conclusion, "The Rheingold Route" is a standout work in Arthur Maling's oeuvre, offering all the hallmarks of a classic thriller: suspense, intrigue, and a richly drawn narrative that transports readers into the heart of Europe. For aficionados of the genre and newcomers alike, this novel promises a journey filled with danger, elegance, and the timeless allure of mystery. ; 20 x 13 x 2.5 cms; 276 pages.

MEARS, DANIEL P.

American Criminal Justice Policy : An Evaluation Approach to Increasing Accountability and Effectiveness

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010. First Edition; First Edition. Original Boards. 321 pages. With illustrations. Light soiling to fore edge. No dustjacket. Stamped Damaged on verso title page. ; Hardcover; Octavo; American Criminal Justice Policy examines many of the most prominent criminal justice policies on the American landscape and finds that they fall well short of achieving the accountability and effectiveness that policymakers have advocated and that the public expects. The policies include mass incarceration, sex offender laws, supermax prisons, faith-based prisoner reentry programs, transfer of juveniles to adult court, domestic violence mandatory arrest laws, drug courts, gun laws, community policing, private prisons, and others. Optimistically, Daniel P. Mears argues that this situation can be changed through systematic incorporation of evaluation research into policy development, monitoring, and assessment. To this end, the book provides a clear and accessible discussion of five types of evaluation - needs, theory, implementation or process, outcome and impact, and cost-efficiency. It identifies how these can be used both to hold the criminal justice system accountable and to increase the effectiveness of crime control and crime prevention efforts..
