Rummies is a 1989 novel by American author Peter Benchley. It features an ensemble cast of characters who meet and interact at a drug rehabilitation clinic. The main character, the "WASP-ish" Scott Preston, has a debilitating alcohol addiction, and sees his wife and boss stage an intervention, sending him to a clinic in New Mexico. It has been likened to Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.[1][2][3][4]
