The story revolves around a wealthy couple, Will and Rose, whose extravagant lifestyle is disrupted when their friends start families. Desperate to reclaim their hedonistic past, they resort to a shocking solution: hiring an assassin to eliminate the children. Set against a backdrop of privilege and decadence, the narrative explores themes of selfishness and the lengths to which one might go to preserve their lifestyle. The couple's once vibrant social life is contrasted with the stark reality of their choices, making for a darkly humorous tale.

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Birgit Sievert.
