Book Description
Fifty-something Frank Shepard is an intelligence operative seemingly at the tail end of his career. When he heads to Alsace on his final assignment to meet a Turkish immigrant interested in passing on information to the CIA, Frank has no idea that his last mission is about to go terribly wrong. After shots are fired and the Turk is killed, Frank manages to grab a bullet from the floor as he escapes the scene. When he later discovers that the bullet was fired from a gun issued by the CIA, Frank is suddenly immersed in an operation where he and his team will collect leads, unmask ramifications, and uncover a conspiracy aimed at shaking the democratic foundation of the free world. As Frank and other intelligence operatives attempt to piece together unrelated and illegible fragments from around the world, several plots gradually mesh into a dramatic chain of events led by an evil man who masterminds the complex operation from behind his desk. Peril faces New York City and the world at large as only one question remains left unansweredwho will be faster on the trigger?

Book Description
The history of capitalist development in the United States is long, uneven, and overwhelmingly focused on the North. Macroeconomic studies of the South have primarily emphasized the role of the cotton economy in global trading networks. Until now, few in-depth scholarly works have attempted to explain how capitalism in the South took root and functioned in all of its diverse—and duplicitous—forms. Southern Scoundrels explores the lesser-known aspects of the emergence of capitalism in the region: the shady and unscrupulous peddlers, preachers, slave traders, war profiteers, thieves, and marginal men who seized available opportunities to get ahead and, in doing so, left their mark on the southern economy. Eschewing conventional economic theory, this volume features narrative storytelling as engaging and seductive as the cast of shifty characters under examination. Contributors cover the chronological sweep of the nineteenth-century South, from the antebellum era through the tumultuous and chaotic Civil War years, and into Reconstruction and beyond. The geographic scope is equally broad, with essays encompassing the Chesapeake, South Carolina, the Lower Mississippi Valley, Texas, Missouri, and Appalachia. These essays offer a series of social histories on the nineteenth-century southern economy and the changes wrought by capitalist transformation. Tracing that story through the kinds of oily individuals who made it happen, Southern Scoundrels provides fascinating insights into the region’s hucksters and its history.
