    About The Ultimate Good Luck

    From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Independence Day and The Sportswriter comes a novel of menace and eroticism set in Oaxaca, Mexico. • “His prose has a taut, cinematic quality that bathes his story with the same hot, mercilessly white light that scorches Mexico.” —The New York Times Book Review

    In this novel, Richard Ford updates the tradition of Conrad for the age of cocaine smuggling. Harry Quinn has come to free his girlfriend’s brother, Sonny, from jail and, ideally, to get him away form the suavely sadistic drug dealer who suspects Sonny of having cheated him.
