Ed Brady and his two sons rely solely on each other in order to survive in a world completely devoid of stability and structure. Their goal: reach the city by the river, where they may have some chance of finding salvation. As they travel across the wasteland that was once the Midwestern United States, they encounter other survivors along the way. As their paths inevitably intertwine, Ed must remain steadfast that his sworn mission to see that his boys know safety and happiness is not compromised.

"A gazetteer of American noir."- Daily Telegraph In the summer of 1989 John Williams donned a baseball cap and took off for the States to search out the mythical America of modern crime fiction-to find James Ellroy's Los Angeles, Elmore Leonard's sleazy South Beach of Miami, Sara Paretsky's Chicago, and many others on a tour of the American underbelly. The result was Into the Badlands, a riveting collection of interviews. In 2005 Williams returned to discover that much had changed in the intervening years, both in crime writing and in America as a whole. As Williams crosses America in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he finds himself in a profoundly uneasy country. Whether their territory is inner-city DC, like George Pelecanos, or the rural white poverty of the Ozark Hills, like Daniel Woodrell, the best crime writers today are sending dispatches from the edge. John Williams brings their visions together to construct a powerful, personal portrait of America today. Includes interviews with James Lee Burke, James Ellroy, James Crumley, Sara Paretsky, Eugene Izzi, Elmore Leonard, George V. Higgins, Vicki Hendricks, Kem Nunn, Kinky Friedman, Daniel Woodrell, and George P. Pelecanos.

Hattie sat down on the ground in the clearing and leaned back against a stump, raising her face to the warm autumn sun. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. She knew if anyone could help BT now, it would be Red Wolfe. This thrilling second book in the Badlands Mystery Series finds three friends and amateur investigators, Hattie Gerald, Buffalo Thunder ["BT"], and Alan Wilson, once again embroiled in murder and mayhem on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of South Dakota. Illegal fossil hunters are systematically stripping the sacred Lakota Stronghold of its treasures, and people begin mysteriously dying. Hattie, BT, and Alan are determined to stop the death and destruction, especially after BT's one true love becomes one of the victims. In a tale filled with the mystical influence of the Lakota culture, both past and present, the trio braves the deadly determination of those who would decimate the riches locked beneath the Stronghold in the heart of the Badlands. But it is the assistance of the spirits of the Badlands that is crucial to the friends' success. Overcoming traditional notions of rational thought proves difficult, but the three push on toward the inevitable clash between good and evil. Only the Spirits know which side will prevail .
