Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. "Wasteland is a gripping, tightly written mystery set in the corrupt high-finance world of California real estate development. Both Will Dunbar and his wife, Caroline, work for tycoon John Clem, who is creating a waste disposal site that could make him millions. Will, a decent man whose ambition has blinded him, has become essentially a bag man for Clem's operation, overseeing the payoffs to county officials to facilitate the development. But he's beginning to feel distaste for this occupation." "Will learns that an investigative reporter may be getting wind of the shady side of his job at the same time he begins to suspect that his wife is having an affair with the disposal site's geologist. Will goes to the geologist's house to have it out with him - only to find his recently murdered corpse and a shadowy figure fleeing over a fence. Will is tried for the murder based on circumstantial evidence and is acquitted only through the surprising perjury of one of the star witnesses, the first of several stunning twists in this carefully constructed story. Haunted by the fact that he was acquitted for the wrong reasons, Will is determined to find out who set him up - and more importantly, why." "Wasteland is full of surprises, as evidenced in McCabe's first novel, City of Lies, which Nicholas Von Hoffman called "compelling, vivid, and rewarding . . . a crime story with real characters." McCabe combines the best of the thriller genre - gritty realism and dizzying plot twists - with the kind of expertly drawn characters and fascinating relationships that one would expect to find only in a literary novel."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
