Megan Abbott grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, once home to the barons of the Detroit auto industry and their fabulous mansions. But those days are over. Abbott knows that community well and decided to set her latest thriller in her hometown. A group of women meets weekly, with one receiving a large sum of money each time. It's a pyramid scheme: the more new members you recruit, the higher you move up the pyramid for a chance at the cash. But these women are getting desperate, and some aren't willing to wait for the payoff.
