Описание:
How the European Union handles posted workers is a growing issue for a region with borders that really are just lines on a map. A 2008 story, dissected in Ines Wagner’s Workers without Borders, about the troubling working conditions of migrant meat and construction workers, exposed a distressing dichotomy: how could a country with such strong employers’ associations and trade unions allow for the establishment and maintenance of such a precarious labor market segment?
Wagner introduces an overlooked piece of the puzzle: re-regulatory politics at the workplace level. She interrogates the position of the posted worker in contemporary European labour markets and the implications of and regulations for this position in industrial relations, social policy and justice in Europe. Workers without Borders concentrates on how local actors implement European rules and opportunities to analyze the balance of power induced by the EU around policy issues.
Wagner examines the particularities of posted worker dynamics at the workplace level, in German meatpacking facilities and on construction sites, to reveal the problems and promises of European Union governance as regulating social justice. Using a bottom-up approach through in-depth interviews with posted migrant workers and administrators involved in the posting process, Workers without Borders shows that strong labor-market regulation via independent collective bargaining institutions at the workplace level is crucial to effective labor rights in marginal workplaces. Wagner identifies structures of access and denial to labor rights for temporary intra-EU migrant workers and the problems contained within this system for the EU more broadly.

Описание:
Murder with a Theme Song is a most notable production by an author whose The Dark Cavalier gained a wide and enthusiastic audience. In this book are included Michael Dundas and Valerie Sheridan of The Dark Cavalier, and Rocky and Eleanor Allen, of the author's earlier books. Mrs. Rath has handled these four characters in such a skillful manner that no one of them outgrows the rest in emphasis, and yet all four play the usual role of hero and heroine. The book, while basically a sound, perplexing mystery story, is replete with characterizations, dialogue, and situations that would ornament a serious novel.
An elderly nurse who tried to drown her sorrows, or her fears, in cocktails, drew Michael and Valerie into the case, and a year-old kidnapping which involved persons living in Rocky's territory was responsible for the Allens' interest. Together Michael and Rocky pursued the murderer whose presence was betrayed by the tune "Alouette," and who felt that withered tiger lilies were a fitting floral decoration for slit hot water bottles.
This book ranks high on every count: suspense, drama, humor, action, and good story-telling.
Murder with a Theme Song was published in 1939.

Описание:
Virginia Rath has, in the character of Michael Dundas and his wife Valerie, created as intriguing a couple as have appeared between the covers of a mystery story since the now historic The Thin Man. And Death Breaks the Ring is another step upward in Mrs. Rath's steady climb to the top of the mystery field.
In this story Valerie's plaguing and persistent desire to see more and better mountain scenery involves Michael in a chain of murder that leads from a mountain-resort hotel to a dramatic conclusion at a fantastic costume party on a California ranch. Michael had no difficulty in ascertaining that both murders were the result of involved relationships existing between three San Francisco families. That was apparent. But the antagonism of these families created an impregnable wall through which he could not penetrate. When, however, he had interpreted the cryptic message on the sheet of paper attached to the three fishing flies, he had made the first small gap in a wall which was eventually to crumble at his feet. His interpretation of this message, plus his psychological understanding of the irrational behavior of people in love, were the means whereby Michael in the end brought to heel a murderer who was tangible proof of the trite remark that all is not what it seems.
The amazing conclusion of this story is only one of the many features of an engrossing and puzzling book--a "must" item for every mystery fan.
Death Breaks the Ring was published in 1941.

Описание:
"Her name was Gertie Malinowki and she hailed from the wrong side of the tracks when she asked Michael Dundas for a job. Voice culture and chi-chi clothes made the original Gertie unrecognizable as movie starlet Greta Mallon when she swept into Michael's office during an 'incognito' trip to San Francisco.
"Greta did not mean her expressed desire to 'get away from it all' for a few days to be taken literally and mean getting away from it forever--but that is what happened when she left her own somewhat riotous open house cocktail party for a somewhat mysterious unspecified date.
"For Michael, who combines his high style dress designing business with an avocation for sleuthing, matters are complicated by the absence of his favorite members of the police force. He enters the case, not as a cooperative helper, but as a likely suspect whom Inspector Hoyt would like nothing better than to clap in jail. Gertie--or Greta's--past pursues her to and even beyond her death and leads Michael, along with his trailer turned pal, "Sam" Weller, into parts of San Francisco that are never mentioned by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Virginia Rath knows her town to the last cobblestone and makes it--sinister, storied, or beautiful--add color to a plot in which Michael, the two-fisted he-man dress designer with a temper and a sense of humor equally cocked with no safety device, pulls no punches, but lots of surprises out of his hat." (Oakland, California, Tribune, December 7, 1947)
A Dirge for Her was published in 1947.

Описание:
Michael Dundas, who combines a flair for detective work with amazing success as a couturier, delves into a mystery with roots laid three generations in the past. The Landreth family closet undoubtedly held a skeleton along with the rest of the old things found in it, just as the envelope with the cryptic figures on it carried the motive, method and solution of the lucky lady's murder. How did two feathers from that same lady's hat land in an unused garden, and what, above all, was the antique Dubosq which started the whole chain of murders? Virginia Rath has based her story on an unusual and fascinating episode in the development of American economic life. The author, in a modern, entertaining story has used facts to give body and color to fiction, a clever feat and extremely well done.
Death of a Lucky Lady was published in 1940.

Описание:
It has been six years since Rowena Talcott walked out of her San Francisco house and vanished into thin air. Then the scent of jasmine, a voice humming a song, and a shadowy figure in a dark hallway seem to indicate that her ghost is walking. Is it Rowena, herself, come back? Or is someone in the household trying to frighten Christopher Talcott's fianc e, Anice?
One man who might have the answer is killed before Chris can reach him, and Michael and Valerie Dundas, amateur sleuths, find themselves in a mystery that grows ever deeper and more dangerous. Together with their friend, Inspector Prevost, they investigate the riddle of the private detective with the dubious reputation, the curiously unprofessional burglary, and the conflicting motives of a handful of suspects who are so few in number that the murderer should be obvious. But, instead, the suspense mounts and more murder follows, as each false clue only makes the solution of Rowena's strange secret more difficult. And it is not until Michael Dundas realizes the full meaning of the shroud he himself designed that he is able to set a trap for a clever and surprising killer.
A Shroud for Rowena was putlished in 1947.

Описание:
The main action of this mystery occurs in a small apartment house, which has apartments for only six families. Of necessity these people are clearly acquainted, and an epidemic of fear runs through them all as some unknown poison pen writer with an amazing knowledge of the skeletons in all six family closets, begins a steady campaign that neglects no one in the building except Michael Dundas, the enigmatic newest occupant--a campaign climaxed by the murder of Maxine Farley, who before going to meet her murderer, had drawn a sketch of a man in the fanciful court costume of Charles the first, leaving the face blank. The sketch bore the caption in Maxine's handwriting: "Death comes at last, like a dark cavalier."
It was Michael Dundas who discovered some of the details of Maxine's relations with men and interpreted he wording of a telegram in an original manner. He also learned of an old hotel key, but not in time to prevent a whining dog from leading him to a second murder--a murder which was indirectly to cause the killer's undoing.
In this book Virginia Rath has again demonstrated her splendid ability to create plots which depend upon character rather than a mechanical formula. Her people are real people; their problems and fears are genuine. Here is a plausible, realistic mystery story which should please even the most fastidious reader.
The Dark Cavalier was published in 1938.

Описание:
"Dragged reluctantly to an art tea by his pretty wife, Michael Dundas, the famous couturier who indulges a fancy for sleuthing on the side, meets a stranger in one of his own models who seems ill at ease. She is distinctly upset at sight of a picture of the sand dunes and coming out of a faint, mumbles words that puzzle and intrigue Michael. When this same Lydia Courney is murdered that same night, apparently on her way to see him, her strange mutterings take on significance.
"But while Lydia's cryptic words do not seem as meaningful, perhaps, as her friend Marcia's denying she's a nurse, or Sally's stealing of a key, they lead Michael finally to the unriddling of what is one of Virginia Rath's liveliest, most complicated plots." (Salt Lake City, Utah, Tribune, April 12, 1942)
