Jayne and Steelie quickly determine that the remains are human, though from several women. But Scott's call has unintended consequences for the two women, putting their lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills uncover evidence leading directly to the killer . . .

Reviews
An excellent starting point for the study of Thoreau as a political thinker.... This necessary companion for any serious student or scholar comprises Turner's informative overview of Thoreau's reemergence in contemporary political theory; eight reprinted essays published in the last 15 years by such established scholars as Nancy Rosenblum, Bob Pepperman Taylor, Jane Bennett, and Turner himself; eight new essays; a judiciously selected bibliography of commentary since 1950; and a substantive index. Critically and conceptually the collection covers a lot of ground., "The world knows Thoreau as a transcendentalist and literary naturalist, but less as a political thinker. Turner moves us in a fresh direction with this provocative new collection of essays by leading scholars in political science, philosophy, and ethics." -- William L. Howarth, Princeton University, former editor in chief of The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, Critically and conceptually the collection covers a lot of ground, with essays arranged in four broad topics, ranging from debating Thoreau's identity as a democrat; analyzing his reception in post-1060s politics; his contributions to political theory, classical as well as contemporary; and the meteaphysical and ethical dimensions of his politics., "Over a dozen authors write a chapter that explores Thoreau's political activism, and through this gain an glimpse of the political discourse that led to the start of the American Civil War." -- Naval District of Washington Waterline, A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau sheds new light on Thoreau's literary repertoire.... The collection also serves Thoreau well by setting him apart from his literary contemporaries.... [It] lift[s] Thoreau out of the American literary canon and recontextualize his work within the traditions of political theory. As such, researchers working beyond the confines of nineteenth-century literature will benefit greatly from this collection., "Jack Turner has given us a remarkable and exemplary collection of essays in his A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau ... It is a special merit of the way in which this collection of essays is conceived and organized that it presents itself as an ongoing conversation in which the individual critics discuss, again and again, not only and conventionally the philosophical opinions and political stances advanced by their predecessors, but also the positions taken by their colleagues in the volume itself." -- Amerikastudien, "A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau sheds new light on Thoreau's literary repertoire.... The collection also serves Thoreau well by setting him apart from his literary contemporaries.... [It] lift[s] Thoreau out of the American literary canon and recontextualize his work within the traditions of political theory. As such, researchers working beyond the confines of nineteenth-century literature will benefit greatly from this collection." -- The Year's Work in English Studies, "Promises to reinvigorate debates about a whole range of under explored themes in Walden and in the political thought of nineteenth-century America." -- Bryan Garsten, associate professor of political science, Yale University, A first-rate collection of essays, exploring Thoreau's contributions to the study of politics on issues ranging from freedom and democracy to individuality, self-cultivation, and the political imagination. Demonstrates persuasively that Thoreau continues to illuminate questions at the center of political theory today., ""Jack Turner's edited collection A Political Companion to Henry David Thoreau sheds new light on Thoreau's literary repertoire....

If there is a chief concern in Turner's collection, it is the debate over whether Thoreau wrote and acted from private or public motives, whether his desire was to clear his own conscience or to repair the tear in the fabric of the American republic by speaking out against war and slavery., Promises to reinvigorate debates about a whole range of under explored themes in Walden and in the political thought of nineteenth-century America.
