The Last Thing He Wanted
Journalist Elena McMahon abandons the presidential campaign she was covering for the Washington Post to do her father a favor. Elena's father is in business. During her stint as an agent in one of these businesses—a deal that quickly goes wrong in every way possible—Elena finds herself on an island in the Antilles where tourism has been replaced by arms trafficking, spies, secret military operations, and assassinations.
An intricate, fast-paced, and hypnotically compelling story that closely examines the activities and conspiracies of the United States government during Ronald Reagan's presidency in 1980s Central America.
The Last Thing He Wanted is a compellingly detailed thriller about corporate intrigue and power plays, astonishing in its exposure of political ambiguities, and utterly delightful in its celebration of Joan Didion at her best.
The acclaimed author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights presents us with democracy through a raw, fragile, dark, and hidden account, dependent on processes in which many hands inevitably get dirty.
