"Former journalist, now mystery writer, Leah Nash receives a heartfelt email from Marianne, a reader she's never met. Marianne's sister Celia is in prison for the murder of her married lover, Eric. She begs Leah to save Celia from serving life for a crime she didn't commit.
However, Leah is pretty sure Celia did kill Eric. The case against her was very strong and the jury delivered the guilty verdict in less than an hour. But Marianne's desperation strikes a chord in Leah due to the guilt she feels over failing to save her own sister.
Peeling back the layers of Eric's life, Leah uncovers multiple suspects who had reasons to want Eric dead. All of them—Eric's wife, sister, a bankrupted neighbor, a political adversary, and a cuckolded husband—are concealing secrets. As Leah navigates a maze of lies and alibis, each clue only deepens the mystery.
Leah becomes so enmeshed in saving Celia that when she begins to receive anonymous messages, she attributes them to a fan with boundary issues. The county sheriff, who happens to be her boyfriend, isn't so sure. But as Leah works to prove Celia's innocence and bring the real killer to light, is a stalker waiting to close in?

"While sportswriters rushed into Major League Baseball locker rooms to talk with players, MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn barred the lone woman from entering along with them. That reporter, twenty-six-year-old Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke, charged Kuhn with gender discrimination, and after the lawyers argued Ludtke v. Kuhn in federal court, she won. Her 1978 groundbreaking case affirmed her equal rights, and the judge's order opened the doors for several generations of women to be hired in sports media.
Locker Room Talk is Ludtke's gripping account of being at the core of this globally covered case that churned up ugly prejudices about the place of women in sports. Kuhn claimed that allowing women into locker rooms would violate his players' 'sexual privacy.' She weaves these public perspectives throughout her vivid depiction of the court drama overseen by Judge Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to serve on the federal bench. She recounts how her lawyer, F. A. O. 'Fritz' Schwarz, employed an ingenious legal strategy that persuaded Judge Motley to invoke the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause in giving Ludtke access identical to that of her male counterparts. Locker Room Talk is both an inspiring story of one woman's determination to do a job dominated by men and an illuminating portrait of a defining moment for women's rights."

"A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping
No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output.
Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses."
