But Gwen Robinson had died in a bleak, underground carpark, murdered by someone who knew just how to use a garrotte. But was she the intended victim? Or had Gwen died of mistaken identity? Mike Burden was convinced he knew who the killer was, and all he had to do was break him. Wexford wasn't so sure. They were missing something, he was sure of it.....With the delicacy of a surgeon wielding a scalpel, Ruth Rendell excises layer after layer of deception and deceit to reveal the rottenness that lies at the core of the killer's soul.EnglandWexford, inspector (fictitious character)FictionLiterature and fiction823.9/14Rendell Ruth1930-2015166024Baker GeorgeothAUDIO9910148906303321Veiled One3596545UNINA03593nam 2200769 450 991082831410332120230706224020.0128129148X97866112914881847141641(electronic bk.)9781847141644(electronic bk.)(CKB)1000000000410140(EBL)436455(OCoLC)437129334(OCoLC)893334195(SSID)ssj0000189107(PQKBManifestationID)11180681(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000189107(PQKBWorkID)10155869(PQKB)10225159(MiAaPQ)EBC436455(Au-PeEL)EBL436455(CaONFJC)MIL129148(EXLCZ)99100000000041014020181010d1998 uy 0engurcn#---unuuntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLanguage relations across Bering Strait reappraising the archaeological and linguistic evidence /Michael FortescueLondon ;New York :Cassell,1998.1 online resource (316 pages)Open Linguistics0-304-70330-3 Includes bibliographical references (pages [243]-251) and index.Introduction --Hypotheses concerning the internal and external relations between 'Paleo-Siberian' languages --A typological overview of the region --The reconstruction of common Eskimo-Aleut and Chukotko-Kamchatkan core morphology --Drawing Uralo-Yukagir morphology into the picture --Lexical correspondences between Uralo-Siberian languages --Who could have spoken Proto-Uralo-Siberian-and where? --Linguistic layering around the bottleneck: from Beringia to the Diomede Islands.In building up a scenario for the arrival on the shores of Alaska of speakers of languages related to Eskimo-Aleut with genetic roots deep within Sineria, this book touches upon a number of issues in contemporary historical linguistics and archaeology. The Arctic ""gateway"" to the New World, by acting as a bottleneck, has allowed only small groups of mobile hunter-gatherers through during specific propitious periods, and thus provides a unique testing ground for theories about population and language movements in pre-agricultural times.
