When the brutal murder of two female hikers on the nearby Appalachian Trail stuns their small community, the sisters find themselves tangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Angie discovers a ripped, blood-soaked shirt; money Sheila's been stashing away disappears; and a strange man tries to barter with a woman's watch at a local store.". Beth Steidle (illustrateur).…

"No one who reads the first chapter will be able to set this book aside, rich as it is in rare insights and high drama. Fierce Ambition left me believing that if Maggie Higgins could have selected her biographer, it would have been Jennet Conant." - Cynthia McFadden, senior investigative and legal correspondent, NBC News. "Marguerite Higgins was both the scourge and envy of the journalistic world. A longtime reporter for the New York Herald Tribune, she first catapulted to fame with her dramatic account of the liberation of Dachau at the end of World War II. Brash, beautiful, ruthlessly competitive, and sexually adventurous, she forced her way to the front despite being told the combat zone was no place for a woman. Her headline-making exploits earned her a reputation for bravery bordering on recklessness and accusations of "advancing on her back," trading sexual favors for scoops. While the Herald Tribune exploited her feminine appeal - regularly featuring the photogenic "girl reporter" on its front pages - it was Maggie's dogged determination, talent for breaking news, and unwavering ambition that brought her success from one war zone to another. Her notoriety during the Cold War, and her daring dispatches from Korea garnered a Pulitzer Prize for foreign correspondence - the first granted to a woman for frontline reporting - with the citation noting the unusual dangers and difficulties she faced because of her sex. A star reporter, she became part of the Kennedy brothers' Washington circle, though her personal alliances and politics provoked bitter feuds with male rivals, who vilified her until her untimely death. Drawing on new and extensive research, including never-before-published correspondence and interviews with Maggie's colleagues, lovers, and soldiers and generals who knew her in the field, journalist and historian Jennet Conant restores Maggie's rightful place in history as a woman who paved the way for the next generation of journalists, and was one of the greatest war correspondents of her time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "The remarkable story of an irrepressible wartime reporter who would do almost anything to get a scoop. Beautiful, brilliant, and demanding, Maggie Higgins was a comet in the gray, male world of mid-twentieth-century American journalism - captured in all her complexity by Jennet Conant in her utterly compelling Fierce Ambition." - Gay Talese, author. "Jennet Conant's brilliant storytelling and extraordinary granular research bring Maggie Higgins's long-forgotten but vital story to life.Higgins's fearless quest to bring the truth to light will serve as inspiration for a new generation of pathfinding women. What a woman, what a legend." - Janine Di Giovanni, author. "Fierce Ambition is a reflection of journalism, hung on the passionate, brilliant, sexy, hilarious, honest, complicated, moving, tough, heartbreaking, outrageous, courageous, astonishing life of the intrepid 'girl' war correspondent Maggie Higgins. Slam! Bang! Kapow! If you're a journalist and you're not reading Fierce Ambition, you're not doing your homework." - Terry McDonnell, author. "Doggedly reported, incisive, and one fabulous ride, Fierce Ambition shows us a Maggie Higgins who is bold, shrewd, and indomitable, a role model not just for aspiring journalists but for fearless women of every stripe." - Mimi Swartz, executive editor, Texas Monthly.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. As new condition dark brown boards, beige spine and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Tom Waits, "OL' '55"; Introduction; Epilogue and Acknowledgments. Signed and inscribed by the author, Finn Murphy, with thin blue ink on the full title page. "It seems strange that American letters has not produced a trucker-writer -- until now. If you ever wonder about these American nomads, their lore, their lives crisscrossing this land, pick up this book." - Ted Conover, author. "Like the best works of sociology, The Long Haul illuminates a ubiquitous but curiously overlooked segment of American life. But this is no mere empirical survey: Finn Murphy invites you into the air-cushioned cab of his eighteen-wheeler and along for a coast-to-coast ride that is trenchantly observed, wryly funny, and filled with human drama." - Tom Vanderbilt, author. "Finn Murphy is my kind of intelligent roughneck. He deploys a keen eye, frank tongue, and muscular thought to show us how the upper class and the working class are acting when they think no one is watching." - Michael Perry, author of Truck: A Love Story. "A Long-Haul Mover's Rollicking Account of Life Out On the Big Slab. More than thirty years ago, Finn Murphy dropped out of college to become a long-haul trucker. Since then he's covered more than a million miles packing, loading, and hauling people's belongings all over America. Known by his trucker handle as U-Turn, he spends his days (and many of his nights) in a 53-foot eighteen-wheeler he calls Cassidy. In The Long Haul, Murphy offers a trucker's-eye view of America on the move. Going far beyond the romance of the American road trip, he whisks readers down the I-95 Powerlane, across the Florida Everglades, in and out of the truck stops of the Midwest, and through the steep grades of the Rocky Mountains. As he crisscrosses the country, Murphy recounts with wit, candor, and charm the America he has seen change over the decades, from the hollowing-out of small towns to shifting tastes in culture and home furnishings. Some 40 million Americans move each year, and very few have any idea what they're getting into or the kind of person to whom they are relinquishing their worldly goods. The Long Haul is also a behind-the-scenes look at the moving industry, revealing what really happens when we call in "the movers." Through it all, Murphy tells poignant, funny, and often haunting stories of the people he encounters on the job: a feisty hoarder in New Hampshire; a Virginia homeowner raging when Murphy's truck accidentally runs down a stand of trees; an ex-banker in Colorado who treats Finn and his crew with undisguised contempt; a widow who needs Murphy to bring her archaeologist husband's remains and relics to a Navajo burial ceremony in New Mexico. These experiences inspire Finn's memorable reflections on work, class, and the bonds we form with the things we own and the places we live. Brimming with personality and filled with great characters, The Long Haul is a resonant portrait of the enduring appeal of manual labor in the dark underbelly of the American dream." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
