Seeking a respite from her claustrophobic marriage and life in London, Alice Kuhlman moves to the Arizona desert with her two small children, Jack and Emmy, to renovate a small abandoned mining town near the Mexican border.
In the duty, alien atmosphere, peopled by a mix of desperate immigrants and locals determined to defend their land. It seem that everyone--from Benjamin, the Mexican caretaker, and Duval, the taciturn foreman, to her boorish neighbour, Jim Morgan and crazy Norma--has something to hide.
And as she discovers more about this harsh frontier and a brutal crime committed twenty years earlier, Alice becomes involved in a dangerous quest for justice. Finally, she will be forced to decide how far she is willing to go to escape, and what exactly she is willing to sacrifice...
Fierce and compelling, 'Midnight Cactus' explores the territory between unrealised dreams and the pull of family. In a blistering climax, Alice discovers it is only by risking everything that you learn what is really worth living for.
