This psychological thriller on the theme of revenge centers on the interlocking triangular relationship between Dee, a successful TV playwright, Hallett, a detective-superintendent, and Stone, a humorless and dour man. Stone has separately invited both Dee and Hallett to his apartment. Each, for very different reasons it would appear. However, as the show progresses we realize nothing is as it seems and as the plot twists and turns, the motive Stone gradually becomes clear. They are all, it would seem, in the same business… The Business of Murder.

Journalists flocked to the region to extract sympathetic profiles of families devastated by poverty, abandoned by establishment politics, and eager to consume cheap campaign promises. What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia is a frank assessment of America's recent fascination with the people and problems of the region. The book analyzes trends in contemporary writing on Appalachia, presents a brief history of Appalachia with an eye toward unpacking Appalachian stereotypes, and provides examples of writing, art, and policy created by Appalachians as opposed to for Appalachians. The book offers a must-needed insider's perspective on the region.
