  Step into the minds of the bold, the brilliant, and the morally complex. Rogues is a riveting collection of true stories that explores the lives of rule-breakers, outliers, and master manipulators—individuals who operate at the blurred edge of genius and deception. From wine fraudsters and arms dealers to whistleblowers and media moguls, these portraits reveal the choices that separate ambition from corruption, and brilliance from ruin.
   
  With sharp storytelling and a cinematic lens, each chapter dives deep into the psychology of high-functioning individuals who defy systems, rewrite rules, and reshape the world around them—for better or worse. But behind every scheme and scandal lies a deeper question: what happens when skill outruns ethics?

  Disequilibria: Meditations on Missingness is a hybrid memoir that recounts the 1982 disappearance of the author's stepfather, James Edward Lewis, a pilot and Vietnam veteran. Recounting his family's experiences in searching for answers, Lunday interrogates the broader cultural and conceptual responses to the phenomenon of missingness by connecting his stepfather's case to other true-life disappearances as well as those portrayed in fiction, poetry, and film. In doing so Disequilibria explores the transience in modern life, considering the military-dependent experience, the corrosive effects of war, and the struggle to find closure and comfort as time goes by without answers.
