The 95th District

The mystical world has always existed at the fringe of human perception. A string of recent abductions takes a turn for the worse when the investigating agent joins an ever-expanding list of casualties. Fortunately, an unexpected informant knows who’s responsible, but he’ll only talk to one person. Detective Ray Bradley, following a six-month suspension since his first big fail, the fail that started it all, is asked to look into the disappearance of his former partner. Much has changed since he last wore the badge. The Veil, which separates the magical world from the mundane, is weakening. Crime is at an all-time high. Confusion, anger, and fear are pushing both sides toward war. And everyone seems to know something Ray does not. Things go from bad to worse when the only suspect in his case is tipped off and Ray is accused of conspiring with the enemy. What was supposed to be a simple missing persons case rapidly escalates into a series of gunfights, car chases, explosions, and encounters with seductive women in this action-packed otherworldly detective novel. Will Ray, the newest Marshal over the 95th District, be able to adapt to a world he does not understand in order to rescue his friend? Or will he become the latest casualty in a war of shadows?

Key party goals serve to advance a policy brand and maximize seats in the legislature. This book offers a theory of how political parties assign their elected members — their "personnel" — to specialized legislative committees to serve collective organizational goals, here known as "party personnel strategies". Individual party members vary in their personal attributes, such as prior occupation, gender, and local experience. Parties seek to harness the attributes of their members by assigning them to committees where their expertise is relevant, and where they may enhance the party's policy brand. However, under some electoral systems, parties may need to trade-off the harnessing of expertise against the pursuit of seats, instead matching legislators according to electoral situation (e.g. marginality of seat) or characteristics of their constituency (e.g. population density). This book offers an analysis of the extent to which parties trade these goals by matching the attributes of their personnel and their electoral needs to the functions of the available committee seats. The analysis is based on a dataset of around six thousand legislators across thirty-eight elections in six established parliamentary democracies with diverse electoral systems.
