At least that is how it is usually portrayed. Getting Somalia Wrong?, the first comprehensive account of the chaos engulfing much of the country, shows that this 'failed state' is far from being a failed society, as alternative forms of business, justice and local politics still flourish. As Mary Harper argues, until the international community starts to 'get it right', the consequences will be devastating.African arguments.Politics & governmentbicsscSomaliaHistory1991-SomaliaPolitics and government1991-SomaliaSocial conditions1960-Politics & government967.7305/3Harper Mary1965-1540902International African Institute.Royal African Society.Social Science Research Council (U.S.)EBLCPCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910779198203321Getting Somalia wrong3792805UNINA02553oam 2200349z- 450 991016391230332120170926000833.01-4494-2369-8(CKB)3710000001051832(BIP)041298911(VLeBooks)9781449423698(EXLCZ)99371000000105183220170327cuuuuuuuu -u- -engMasqueradeAndrews McMeel Publishing1 online resource (288 p.) The Father Koesler Mysteries1-4494-2505-4 "A nice, tidy mystery . . . with characters who are plausible, intelligent, about whom we can care and with whom we might even empathize."--West Coast Review of Books "This tale should once again entertain the many fans of Kienzle's sleuth, Father Robert Koesler." --Booklist When Father Koesler agreed to serve as consultant at a mystery writers' conference, he--and the students--get more than they bargained for: a real murder mystery. Marygrove College's choice of the Reverend Klaus Krieg as the featured speaker at its conference was no surprise. The popular televangelist and publisher of sleaze was sure to draw a crowd. The real mystery was the choice of the other speakers--a rabbi, a nun, a monk, and an Episcopal priest--all successful mystery writers with another thing in common: They hated Krieg. Father Koesler's misgivings about serving as consultant to the conference were heightened when the speakers gathered without Reverend Krieg. Although they had never met each other, the speakers were remarkably rancorous about the absent guest. In fact, in one way or another, all of them said they would like to kill him. Was it any wonder, then, that when a murder too place suspicion should center on the speakers? Father Koesler was loath to believe that any of these people, all religious, could commit such a deed, but he felt obliged to call on Detroit Homicide's best detective, Alonzo "Zoo" Tully, and his old friend Inspector Walter Koznicki. In this eleventh Father Koesler mystery, secrets of the human heart, which may elude professionals, are the province of the priest and the solution to the mystery.CatholicsClergyKoesler, Robert (Fictitious character)Catholics.Clergy.Koesler, Robert (Fictitious character)813.54William Kienzle1745892BOOK9910163912303321Masquerade4178251UNINA
