They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

Unique crimes call for unique detectives. When a friend's granddaughter is murdered, our ambisexual downsized-social-worker and her cat are enlisted to help solve the case.
