Sit on a quiet hillside at dawn among the wildflowers; take a picture of a car coming up a deserted highway from the south. Simple orders for Inspector O, until he realizes they have led him far, far off his department's turf and into a maelstrom of betrayal and death. North Korea's leaders are desperate to hunt down and eliminate anyone who knows too much about a series of decades-old kidnappings and murders - and Inspector O discovers too late he has been sent into the chaos. This is a world where nothing works as it should, where the crimes of the past haunt the present, and where even the shadows are real. A corpse in Pyongyang's main hotel - the Koryo - pulls Inspector O into a confrontation of bad choices between the devils he knows and those he doesn't want to meet. A blue button on the floor of a hotel closet, an ice blue Finnish lake, and desperate efforts by the North Korean leadership set Inspector O on a journey to the edge of a reality he almost can't survive.

James Church's "Inspector O" novels have been hailed as "crackling good" ("The Washington Post") and "tremendously clever" ("Tampa Tribune"), while Church himself has been embraced by critics as "the equal of le Carre" ("Publishers Weekly", starred). Now Church - a former Western intelligence officer who pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of North Korea in a way that no one else can - comes roaring back with an unputdownable new series featuring Inspector O's nephew, Bing, the director of state security in a region in northeast China bordering North Korea. When clues point to a connection between a beautiful woman's disappearance and Bing's sensitive assignment to bring an agent across the North Korean border, O reluctantly helps him navigate an increasingly complex and deadly maze. James Church has crafted a story with beautifully spare prose and layered descriptions of a country and a people he knows by heart.

Inspector O has been wrenched from retirement and ordered back to Pyongyang for a final assignment. The two Koreas, he learns, are now cooperating - very quietly - to maintain stability in the North. Stability requires that O lead an investigation into a crime of passion. O is instructed to make sure that the case goes away. Remnants of the old regime, foreign powers, rival gangs - all want a piece of the action, and all make it clear that if O values his life, he will not get in their way. O isn't sure where his loyalties lie, and he doesn't have much time to figure out whether it's better to be noble or be dead.

When the wife of a North Korean diplomat in Pakistan dies under suspicious circumstances, O is told to investigate, with a curious provison: Don't look too closely at the details, and stay away from the question of missiles. O finds himself on a trail that leads from the dark rooms of Pyongyang to the streets of New York and the shores of Lake Geneva. He is up to his ears in missiles - and worse. Stalked by the past and wary of the future, O is convinced there is no one he can trust, and no one he can't suspect. Once again, Church guides readers through an unfamiliar landscape of whispered words and shadows that few outsiders have experienced. With Inspector O, noir has a new home in North Korea, and James Church holds the keys.

Put your Haskell skills to work and generate publication-ready visualizations in no time at allKey FeaturesTake your data analysis skills to the next level using the power of HaskellUnderstand regression analysis, perform multivariate regression, and untangle different cluster varietiesCreate publication-ready visualizations of dataBook DescriptionEvery business and organization that collects data is capable of tapping into its own data to gain insights how to improve. Haskell is a purely functional and lazy programming language, well-suited to handling large data analysis problems. This book will take you through the more difficult problems of data analysis in a hands-on manner.This book will help you get up-to-speed with the basics of data analysis and approaches in the Haskell language. You'll learn about statistical computing, file formats (CSV and SQLite3), descriptive statistics, charts, and progress to more advanced concepts such as understanding the importance of normal distribution. While mathematics is a big part of data analysis, we've tried to keep this course simple and approachable so that you can apply what you learn to the real world.By the end of this book, you will have a thorough understanding of data analysis, and the different ways of analyzing data. You will have a mastery of all the tools and techniques in Haskell for effective data analysis.What you will learnLearn to parse a CSV file and read data into the Haskell environmentCreate Haskell functions for common descriptive statistics functionsCreate an SQLite3 database using an existing CSV fileLearn the versatility of SELECT queries for slicing data into smaller chunksApply regular expressions in large-scale datasets using both CSV and SQLite3 filesCreate a Kernel Density Estimator visualization using normal distributionWho this book is forThis book is intended for people who wish to expand their knowledge of statistics and data analysis via real-world examples. A basic understanding of the Haskell language is expected. If you are feeling brave, you can jump right into the functional programming style.
