Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home. At her side is her new assistant, Dinios Kol, ... |

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws.

Some laws require prudence: Law 1: Never Outshine the Master, some stealth. Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions, and some the total absence of mercy. Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally, but like it or not, all have applications in real- ... |
