She's the goddess of hearth and home. America's millionaire media maven of domesticity, Connecticut's most dazzling hostess, and everything in her world is perfect--except that Maggie Darling's picture-book life has suddenly gone off the rails. Amid the extravagant trappings of a Christmas Eve hash, she spies her swinish stockbroker husband slipping out of a powder room moments after his creamy young office colleague. Matrimonial meltdown launches Maggie on a year of romance and misadventure, starting with an ill-fated fling with British rock star-turned-movie-actor Frederick Swann. Back home, a sniper is loose on the Merritt Parkway and a gang known as the Businessman's Lunch Posse is terrorizing pattons of Manbattan's four-star restaurants. Meanwhile, Maggie's son Hooper drops out of college and falls into the company of the sinister gangstarap group Chill Az Def. As calamity piles on catastrophe, can Maggie Darling brilliantly resolve the collapse of civilization as we wish we knew it?

Industry Reviews

"A deliciously wicked over-the-top romp across the tortured terrain of suburban America. This book is a wonderful whack-on-the-head to an increasingly complacent country bent on turning everywhere into Nowhere.'"
