In his stunning follow-up to the #1 best-selling House of Sand and
Fog, Andre Dubus draws us into the lives of three deeply flawed, driven
people whose paths intersect on a September night in Florida. April, a
stripper, has brought her daughter to work at the Puma Club for Men.
There she encounters Bassam, a foreign client both remote and too
personal, and free with his money. Meanwhile, another man, AJ, has been
thrown out of the club, and he's drunk and angry and lonely. From these
explosive elements comes a relentless, raw, and page-turning narrative
that seizes the reader by the throat with psychological tension, depth,
and realism.
