Summary"Mackie dreaded the mail." From this simple beginning,
Peter Abrahams opens the curtains on a mesmerizing world
down on the Mexican border, a world of complex and
passionate people whose ambitions will lead them on a
relentless collision course, a desert world that rises to
the mythic in Their Wildest Dreams. The suspense will grab
you and not let go, the surprises will shock you, but in
the end it will be the wonderful characters who linger in
your mind.
Characters like Mackie Larkin, a suburban mother desperate
for money, who finds she can earn it as a stripper; Kevin
Larkin, her ex-husband whose get-rich-quick schemes left
her with a mountain of debt, and who now dreams up an even
better one; Lianne, their beautiful, impulsive teenage
daughter, for whom almost anything, even bank robbery, is
possible; Jimmy Marz, the wrangler she loves, who gets a
dangerous onetime offer that could take him to the life
he's always wanted; Buck Samsonov, the charismatic strip-
club owner building a southwestern empire in the lawless
style of a 19th-century robber baron; Clay Krupsha, a
twenty-first-century captain of detectives in a border town
where no crime is what it seems; and Nicholas Loeb, a
struggling mystery writer whose encounter with an unstable
muse entangles him in a web of true crime more mysterious
than anything he imagined.
Utterly original, multilayered, and marked by the gripping
suspense, sharp wit, and fascinating psychological insights
for which Peter Abrahams has been acclaimed, here is a
major work—a riveting story of modern-day desperadoes
living their wildest dreams.
