Puerto Vallarta Squeeze

Genuine passion has become Robert James Waller’s hallmark. Now the author of The Bridges of Madison County has written a new book that’s taut with suspense—blending love, danger, and adventure like nothing he’s ever written before.
Novelist Danny Pastor liked what he found in lazily beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: Luz María, a woman he was crazy about; cantinas that played his kind of music; and la dolce vita, the sweet life. That was the problem. Danny needed to write, and he was up against a blank wall, not turning out a word while his money ran low and his nerves went wild.
Then he was in the right place, or the wrong one, to be the sole witness when a shooter gunned down an American naval officer. At a café table with Luz, Danny Pastor saw it all, and saw the possibility of a story, a surefire, prizewinning account that could restore his pride and make him famous. And when the killer approached him, the only other Anglo around, and asked for a ride across the border, Danny, bold with tequila, said yes.
Now in a Ford Bronco named Vita, two men and one woman begin a hair-raising run for the border. Their journey will take them to places they didn’t anticipate, to things they never thought would happen, to feelings that reach deep and change everything—in a story that will kindle a spirit of adventure in everyone. Puerto Vallarta Squeeze bristles with wry humor, hard action, and an explosive conclusion—a fast-paced, emotionally complex novel that will hold you spellbound from the first to the last page.
