"The Ultimate Good Luck" by Richard Ford describes the harrowing and suspenseful time spent by Harry Quinn, a Vietnam Veteran, trying to spring his drug-dealing brother-in-law out of a Mexican prison. Quinn is in a strange state of mind, largely the aftermath of the war, and he works with his estranged wife, a crooked attorney and local mobsters to arrange the prison release while guerrillas, soldiers, police and crooks roam the Oaxaca countryside, sometimes indistinguishable from each other. The best review I've written according to many, of a book that is brilliantly crafted.
