In the vein of Kathleen Barber and Julia Heaberlin comes an electrifying debut suspense that pits the inhabitants of a small town against each other. Nine years ago, July Weaver's little sister was one of the first victims of the Pacific Lake Killer, a serial killer in Georgia. When other girls began to disappear and were found dead, it was July's testimony that put her own father into prison for the crimes. After the sentencing, she fled to Nashville to focus on her music career and to try to forget the horrible past. But when her brother tries to kill himself, July is forced to come back home and reunite with her four remaining siblings. What she isn't expecting is to uncover new evidence that makes her question everything that happened to her sister nine years ago. Is it possible that July blamed the wrong person? Is it possible that the Pacific Lake Killer is still out there? As the linchpin to the case against her father--and the reason the Pacific Lake Killer case is closed--July knows it isn't long before the killer will set their eyes back on her. If they're really still out there.

Triumphant Bodies: Sexual-Political Conquest in British Women's Published Writing, 1660-1769 builds on recent scholarship such as Ros Ballaster's Seductive Forms and Catherine Gallagher's Nobody's Story in order to draw attention to professional female authors' use of a pliant vocabulary of sexuality and politics during the eighteenth century. Throughout the study, Smith emphasizes the blending of gendered, sexed, and politicized language—a blending that allowed women to provocatively challenge, undermine, and rearticulate the terms of power and authority that were available to them in the literary marketplace. Triumphant Bodies centers on Aphra Behn, Mary Wortley Montagu, Charlotte Lennox, and Frances Brooke, with additional glances toward their contemporaries, including John Dryden, John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, Delarivier Manley, Henry Fielding, Anne Finch, Mary Leapor, Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, and Horace Walpole. Smith positions women's writing within dominant traditions but argues that women writers simultaneously understood themselves s part of a gendered trajectory. By drawing together a diverse and expansive range of texts by women, this study suggests the complexity of any attempt to define women's authorial triumphs during this period of tremendous vigor and transformation in the literary marketplace.
