The Killers in Gilbourne County
The Killers in Gilbourne County features Mitchell Granger, a man with a passion for growing his general contracting business and hunting whitetail deer in north central Oklahoma. The outset of the new hunting season brings anticipation of stirring adventures, success afield, and comradeship with his hunting partner, Craig Huntsman. However, stumbling over a dead body in the woods puts an eerie and perilous spin on ordeals yet to come. Grangers newfound romance and the near death of his hunting partner spur the protagonist to uncover the truth and put things right. As the details unfold, protecting the lives of the people he loves, and exposing countywide corruption, proves more dangerous than the beast in the woods trying to kill him.
NEWELL
We all have a story to tell about how we lived our lives and how we sometimes turned left instead of right. We remember the ups and the downs, the disappointments, and the stunning victories. Sometimes, folks will openly talk about the heady days of being ten years old. Others may fret even to remember it. Many write their story because they had a spectacular life or accomplished great deeds. Relating such a story, a person might reason, would inspire others to reach a little higher or stay in the game a little longer. Enjoy this jouirney, with Newell.
Westerly
Thaddeus (Taad) Aaron Lindenhall is the sixth generation of the Lindenhall lineage living in an agricultural community, Atkinsville, in southeastern Kansas. The family owns two sections of land, one of which Taad leased to others and the other being the Old World Forest. Taad is the largest retail merchant in town, and the family name enjoys a high level of notoriety and prominence in the community. Residents and farmers in and around Atkinsville understand that the Lindenhalls have no intention to level the Wood, as it’s called by Taad, and allow local grain farmers to exploit it for farming. Westerly tips off Taad. That one local rancher-farmer, Clayton Jurkins, is determined to harvest the forest and farm it, but worse still, he aims to drive the Lindenhall clan from the area and gain control of Lindenhall’s lands. Taad plans a defense to protect his family from Jurkins’s efforts to disrupt the peace, then (with the help of Elenore, an Overseer) discovers that someone has buried bodies in his Wood, and the hunt is on to find a psychopath in their midst.

What Is Counterterrorism For?
Terrorism will always be frontpage news – counterterrorism is often discussed as an afterthought, yet it is vitally important to understand what is done in the name of our safety. Since 9/11, there has been a huge ramping up of the state’s special powers in the name of security, such as indefinite detention, the assassination of suspected terrorists, the use of extraordinary rendition, torture, and changes to due process. However, these powers are often shadowy, they are rarely rolled back, and they can be counterproductive. This book focuses on understanding the costs of counterterrorism and asking how they can be reduced; global in scope, it looks not just at Western liberal democracies, but at numerous examples from across the world.
