The three Bishop sisters grew up in a wealthy suburb of Detroit. However, as the city declines, their happiness begins to falter as well. Harper, the youngest, can barely make ends meet, and her sisters are not faring any better. Then Pam, the charismatic one, and Debra, the solid eldest, present her with an enticing proposal: to join a new club. "The Wheel" promises women like them the chance to earn a lot of money independently. But behind the shiny promise lies a pyramid scheme with increasing risks. And it appears to be deadly—because one of the sisters is found murdered.

In "El Dorado Drive," the award-winning American author casts her unflinching gaze on women and money, unfolding a gripping story about greed, vulnerability, shattered hopes, and the destructive power of illusions.
