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 bash, she spies her
swinish stockbroker husband slipping out of a powder room moments
after his creamy young 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 patrons
of Manhattan's four-star restaurants. Meanwhile, Maggie's son
Hooper drops out of college and falls into the company of the
sinister gangsta-rap group Chill Az Def. As calamity piles on
catastrophe, can Maggie Darling brilliantly resolve the collapse of
civilization as we wish we knew it?
