  Minnesota, 1970s: A snowmelt has sent floodwaters down to the fields of the Red River Valley, dragging the body of an unidentified Native woman into the town of Ada. The only evidence the medical examiner recovers is a torn piece of paper inside her bra: a hymn written in English and Ojibwe. 
   
  Cash Blackbear, a 19-year-old, tough-as-nails Ojibwe woman, sometimes uses her special abilities to help Sheriff Wheaton, her guardian, with his investigations.  
   
  When Cash sees the hymn, she knows her search for justice for this anonymous victim will lead her somewhere she hasn’t been in over a decade: the White Earth Reservation, a place she once called home. 
   
  When Cash happens upon two small graves in the yard of a rural, “speak-intongues kinda church,” she is pulled into the lives of the pastor and his wife while yet another Native woman turns up dead and her newborn is nowhere to be found.

  The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad is a complex narrative set in London in 1886, centering on Adolf Verloc, a secret agent working for an unnamed foreign embassy, likely representing Russia. Verloc leads a double life as a shopkeeper selling dubious items like pornography and contraceptives while also being embedded within a group of anarchists known as The Future of the Proletariat.The story begins with Verloc's mundane family life, where he lives with his wife Winnie, her mother, and her brother Stevie, who has a mental disability. Winnie is deeply protective of Stevie, often treating him more like a son than a sibling. 
  Verloc's relationships with his anarchist friends—Comrade Ossipon, Michaelis, and The Professor—are marked by their ineffectiveness and ideological fervor, despite their inability to execute successful terrorist acts.Verloc's complacency draws the ire of Mr. Vladimir, the embassy's First Secretary, who demands that Verloc instigate a significant act of terrorism to provoke public outrage against anarchists.
