Untamed Shore

By Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Book Overview

Renowned author Silvia Moreno-Garcia's first thriller, UNTAMED SHORE, is a gritty coming-of-age story set in 1970s Mexico featuring the death of a glamorous tourist, and sharks.

Viridiana has become fed-up with her boring seaside town, the only noteworthy sight being the pile of dead sharks by the shore, courtesy of fishermen's nets. The only career option for women like her in this town is to marry and have children. Viridiana has dreams that go beyond this drab town, which are stoked when three wealthy and mysterious American tourists arrive for the summer. Enthusiastic and na ve, fascinated with Hollywood films, soon enough Viridiana becomes entwined in the foreigners' glamorous lives. When one of them dies, she lies to cover a possible homicide, and tangles herself in a web of deceit. Sharks may be dangerous, but there are worse predators lurking nearby, ready to devour a na ve young woman.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of the most exciting voices in fiction, and with her first thriller, UNTAMED SHORE, she crafts a blazing novel of suspense with an eerie seaside setting that proves her a master of the genre.
