That’s why she jumps at the chance to cover a quadruple murder on the lake, even though it’s her day off. Avery realizes right away that the murders weren’t a crime of passion. No, this was a planned hit, and it leads her to look at the old mob faces in the county, who don’t exactly want to invite her into their homes.

En la convincente crítica que aquí presenta, Martha C. Nussbaum argumenta que las teorías del desarrollo actualmente imperantes han producido políticas que ignoran nuestras necesidades más fundamentales de dignidad y respeto personales.
