Set against the contrasting backdrops of Wisconsin’s pristine Northwoods, known as God’s country, and the hustle and bustle of the Windy City, unfolds a mystery of unique characters with complicated pasts and conflicting agendas—the innocent, the socialites, the vigilantes, the village chief of police, the world-weary veteran detective, and the trust-fund sluggard. When the body of a twenty-six-year-old ne’er-do-well from an elite family of Chicago’s North Shore is found half-consumed by wildlife with a single bullet hole in his head and even fewer witnesses, veteran Wisconsin homicide detective Bennett Coleman is called upon to assemble the pieces of this masterful puzzle. Former DA Roger Simpson’s inaugural effort will keep your curiosity piqued and pages turning while you race at breakneck speed through the Northwoods and the grit of Chicago’s justice system.
Offering the first comprehensive history of U.S relations with Indonesia during the 1960s, Economists with Guns explores one of the central dynamics of international politics during the Cold War: the emergence and U.S. embrace of authoritarian regimes pledged to programs of military-led development. Drawing on newly declassified archival material, Simpson examines how Americans and Indonesians imagined the country's development in the 1950s and why they abandoned their democratic hopes in the 1960s in favor of Suharto's military regime. Far from viewing development as a path to democracy, this book highlights the evolving commitment of Americans and Indonesians to authoritarianism in the 1960s on.
