The Unexpected Witness

The workplace of Detective Shaw is the homicide division, so this book will focus on these crimes. The collection includes several cases from the protagonist's practice, varying not only in how the described acts were committed but also in the... results of their investigations...
The stories by contemporary American writer and professional forensic expert Shannon Hollinger are adapted in this edition using Ilya Frank's teaching reading method: they are provided with a literal translation into Russian and necessary lexical and grammatical commentary (without simplifying the original text). The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that memorization of words and expressions occurs through their repeatability, without rote learning and the need to use a dictionary. Furthermore, the reader becomes accustomed to the logic of the English language, starting to "feel" it.
For a wide audience studying English and interested in Anglo-American culture.
