In Larry Weindruch and Richard A Yach’s Get Maggie, Nicolas Pavlovich leaves Chicago with a large sum of stolen cash and his daughter Maggie, hoping distance will keep them out of reach of the men hunting him. Miami offers only a brief pause. Old grievances between father and daughter quickly surface, and Maggie makes a decision that sends her back toward the city they had fled. Her return puts her in the path of Giancarlo Bello, a crime boss determined to recover what was taken from him and settle the score with the man responsible. As Nicky realizes Maggie may be in immediate danger, he is forced into a desperate return to Chicago, where the same neighborhoods he once used for cover now expose him. As both father and daughter evade Bello’s pursuit, both are being driven toward a cataclysmic confrontation.
Larry Weindruch and Richard A Yach’s Get Maggie's is a fast-paced crime thriller, built around murder, theft, and a fight to survive against a powerful, deeply connected adversary. Maggie is an exceptionally well-fleshed-out character, with nerve and the ability to claw her way out of a corner. This nerve also feeds into her very human flaw of impulsiveness, especially where money is concerned. Nicky, Maggie’s father, is a man with a past, and this gives him an angle, treating survival as skilled work. He is also a father through and through, stepping up to the plate when Maggie’s life is on the line. I love the immersive and visual settings, from Dot’s apartment with its oxygen tube across the kitchen floor, to the locked bunkhouse and guarded outbuildings at the farm. With solid prose and plenty of action, readers who like great crime fiction driven by greed, organized crime, and a father-daughter dynamic that is completely out of the ordinary will adore this. Very highly recommended.
