From the New York Times bestselling author of The Turnout comes a simmering, atmospheric novel of friendship and betrayal, following a women-led pyramid scheme in suburban Detroit.
"Abbott is a superstar of the suspense genre." âNPR
All I want is to be innocent again. But that's not how it works. Especially not after the Wheel.
The three Bishop sisters grew up in privilege in the moneyed suburbs of Detroit. But as the auto industry declined, so did their fortunes. Harper, the youngest, is barely making ends meet when her beloved, charismatic sister Pamâcurrently in the middle of a contentious battle with her ex-husbandâand her eldest sister, Debra, approach her about joining an exciting new club.
The Wheel offers women like themselvesâmiddle-aged and of declining meansâa way to make their own money, independent of husbands or families. Quickly, however, the Wheelâs success, and their own addiction to it, leads to greater and greater risksâand a crime so shocking it threatens to bring everything down with it.
Megan Abbott turns her keen eye toward women and money in El Dorado Drive, a riveting story about power, vulnerability, and how desperation draws out our most destructive impulses.
