From Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of
MEXICAN GOTHIC (July 2020) and VELVET WAS THE NIGHT (August 2021),
comes UNTAMED SHORE, a dark cocktail mixing a nuanced coming-of-age
story with a classical noir. 'Brutality takes on an almost divine
quality' LA Review of Books Baja California, 1979: Viridiana spends
her days under the harsh sun, watching the fishermen pulling in
their nets and the dead sharks piled beside the seashore. Her head
is filled with dreams of romance, travel and of a future beyond
this drab town where her only option is to marry and have children.
When a wealthy American writer arrives with his wife and
brother-in-law, Viridiana jumps at the offer of a job as his
assistant, and she's soon entangled in the glamorous foreigners'
lives. They offer excitement, and perhaps an escape from her
humdrum life. When one of them dies, eager to protect her new
friends, Viridiana lies - but soon enough, someone's asking
questions. It's not long before Viridiana has some of her own
questions about the identities of her new acquaintances. Sharks may
be dangerous, but there are worse predators nearby, ready to devour
a naïve young woman unwittingly entangled in a web of deceit.
