Maxine has had it with reckless drivers.
Redwood Gulch is a sleepy coastal California town. But it has one ginormous problem.
Reckless drivers tear through town—tailgating, passing on blind curves, and treating everyone on the road like they’re expendable.
But Maxine has other problems at the moment.
Her husband has walked out, leaving her with a pile of bills, his broken-down contractor’s truck, and no idea how to live on her own…
Or what to do with all that simmering rage.
With the help of her neighbor Clyde, an eighty-year-old retired mechanical engineer with a gift for ingenious inventions, Maxine turns her battered old Dodge into a secret weapon. Disguising herself and her truck, she begins delivering a series of harmless but unforgettable lessons to the town’s worst road-rage offenders.
And it feels really good…
Until one particularly obnoxious driver becomes her favorite target—and decides to fight back.
What begins as a little revenge campaign soon becomes a dangerous private war. As the stakes rise, Maxine pushes boundaries she never imagined crossing—and finds herself dangerously close to becoming part of the problem she set out to solve.
Now she has to decide how far is too far before her righteous crusade costs her everything.
Funny, feisty, and heartfelt, Mad Maxine is a wild ride of road rage, revenge, unlikely friendship, and one woman’s journey from feeling utterly helpless to discovering that the life she was afraid to live on her own might be the life she wanted all along.
