Katie Arnoldi's critically acclaimed debut novel "Chemical Pink" launched her onto the bestseller lists and so established itself into the public's consciousness that its title was the answer to a Double Jeopardy question.
Two years ago Overlook published her sophomore effort, "The Wentworths," a searing portrait of a wealthy Westside, Los Angeles, family. This too was a fixture on bestseller lists and earned her a wider audience.
With "Point Dume" she has produced her most remarkable novel to date-bringing to life subjects she knows well-the death of surf culture, human trafficking, the Mexican drug cartel, illegal pot farms on public lands, environmental devastation, and obsessive love.
A fast moving page-turner, with insights that Arnoldi has gleaned from years of on-the-ground research, this is a timely novel that seems timeless.
