Luck—normally a polite, unobtrusive force—has developed a wobble. Civic systems misbehave like bored deities. And somewhere beneath everything, the machinery that keeps reality pointing mostly in the right direction has begun to rattle like an ageing boiler with Opinions.

If your mind never seems to switch off, this audiobook is for you. You agonize over decisions, replay conversations in your head, and hold back even when you know what you want.

Meanwhile, opportunities pass you by, and nothing really changes.

When Ruben Beeler finds a rancher friend shot to death and mutilated, he calls on Marshals Marion Daniels and Homer Poteet for help.

In pursuit of the killers, the Marshals venture into the Oklahoma Territory, or "The Nations" as it was known at the time, following a path of bloodlust that began before the killing of Arkansas Bill Cole. Serial killers are nothing new, as the Marshals find out on the Cutthroat Trail.

In the wake of one of the most tumultuous conventions in Republican history, the party of Lincoln nominated in 1940 a prominent businessman and Wall Street attorney for president. Though Wendell Willkie would lose to FDR, David Levering Lewis reveals in this news-making reclamation that the story of this Hoosier-born corporate chairman's life is the story of an America that could have been.
