Puerto Vallarta Squeeze

Robert James Waller writes like no one else about the powerful emotions between a man and a woman. At a white Iowa farmhouse or in the jungles of India, there is no mistaking Waller's talent for capturing feelings on the printed page. Now the author of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY has written a new book that's taut with suspense—blending danger, adventure, and desire...

Novelist Danny Pastor is a writer up against a blank wall, not turning out a word while his money runs low in lazily beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Pretty Luz Maria, who exchanged her strict upbringing for la dolce vita with Danny, is the twenty-two-year-old Mexican woman he loves. Desperate for cash, they're about to agree to a dangerous, foolhardy plan—to drive a mysterious man with a gun to the U.S. border on a wild trip toward the dark places of the world... and the human heart.
