The thrilling new novel from bestselling writer Megan Abbott: a story about three sisters who join an exclusive women’s club which promises to empower its members, but will actually put them in mortal danger…

Pam, Debra and Harper are three sisters who grew up in Detroit when the city was a boom town thanks to the auto industry. Now in mid-life, their lives have faltered in different ways, mirroring the fortunes of their city. Debra’s husband needs expensive medical treatment. Pam is in the middle of a nasty divorce. And Harper has a big debt which is also a big secret.

In desperate need of money, support and just some fun, the three sisters join The Wheel, an exclusive women’s club that promises financial security. As The Wheel turns, the money flows, the stakes get higher – and then a shocking murder tears everything apart. El Dorado Drive is a nail-biting, brilliantly dark story about class, money, women in mid-life, and the decline of the American dream.
