Mac Thornsby grew up on the streets. He's used to doing anything to survive, but homicide? That's outside his comfort zone. However, Mac is soon the prime suspect in a murder investigation after he is discovered, unconscious, at the scene of the bloody crime. Jim MacDonald, a deputy district attorney, is assigned the case, along with seasoned homicide detective George Westbend. But Mac's guilt is quickly called into question when additional dead bodies turn up. All the victims appear to be connected to local mob boss, Manicelli, and Weatherford, the city's most prominent, and possibly dirty, businessman. As Jim digs deeper, he becomes personally involved when a dead woman, believed to be an undercover agent, is found in his bed. Not only is the integrity of the murder investigation out the window, but so is the respectability of the district attorney's office. Apparently, the murdered woman had evidence against Manicelli and Weatherford, so someone decided to shut her up. Jim soon finds himself pursued by Manicelli, who suspects Jim might have the missing evidence against him. With the help of an ex-CIA agent, Jim must find the truth against the mob and all those involved. Otherwise, his reputation could be forever tarnished, or worse--he could end up the next victim.

The Aermotor Windmill Company, which commenced operations in Chicago in 1888, is the nation’s sole remaining full-time manufacturer of water-pumping machines. The company’s imprint on rural America, particularly across the West, is still visible today in the tens of thousands of its windmills that bring water to the earth’s surface. Still Turning is the first book to explore the rise of the American windmill through the experience of this important company. Aermotor founder La Verne Noyes and engineer Thomas Perry developed and perfected the all-metal wind pump in the 1880s. Within a decade, the “mathematical windmill” began to dominate the market. Aermotor continued to expand and innovate. The ruggedness and simplicity of the American mechanical windmill has allowed it to outlast many newer water-pumping technologies over the years with minimal maintenance and oversight. Christopher C. Gillis traces this story and more, from the early days of the company to Aermotor’s present-day relevance as it continues to produce its iconic windmills. Still Turning is a significant contribution not only to the history of wind power but also to the history of American enterprise.
