The Last of Her
In this explosive mystery thriller from the award-winning author of Rattlesnake Daddy, a disgraced intelligence agent tries to prove her innocence. Or die trying. Hella Duran was “a good piece of gear,” according to her CO. She had a sock full of medals to prove it. But then it all went terribly wrong. Now, rejected by the Army, she goes home to Nebraska, only to find that her family and hometown reject her, too. Homeless, she realizes the only way back is to find out what really happened that day in Afghanistan. But her search for the truth draws a relentless killer to America’s heartland, a man who'll stop at nothing to protect his secret. A soul-shattering truth that, if it gets out, will deal a death blow to democracy. Can she uncover the truth? Or will it be buried with her and her family under a moonlit dune deep in the Nebraska Sandhills? This is a book for readers who loved Those Who Wish Me Dead, Winter’s Bone, and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The Last of Her is a revision of a book previously published as All Done with Dying.

Finding a New Midwestern History
In comparison to such regions as the South, the far West, and New England, the Midwest and its culture have been neglected both by scholars and by the popular press. Historians as well as literary and art critics tend not to examine the Midwest in depth in their academic work. And in the popular imagination, the Midwest has never really ascended to the level of the proud, literary South; the cultured, democratic Northeast; or the hip, innovative West Coast. Finding a New Midwestern History revives and identifies anew the Midwest as a field of study by promoting a diversity of viewpoints and lending legitimacy to a more in-depth, rigorous scholarly assessment of a large region of the United States that has largely been overlooked by scholars. The essays discuss facets of midwestern life worth examining more deeply, including history, religion, geography, art, race, culture, and politics, and are written by well-known scholars in the field such as Michael Allen, Jon Butler, and Nicole Etcheson.
