Blacktop Wasteland - S A Cosby Kartoniert (TB)

IT'S A CRIME THAT HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. 'Sensationally good - new fresh real authentic twisty with characters and dilemmas that will break your heart. ' LEE CHILD 'Every once in a while a writer comes along with an incredible voice. Think Elmore Leonard or Chester Himes...add S. A. Cosby to that list." STEVE CAVANAGH Beauregard "Bug" Montage: honest mechanic loving husband devoted parent. He's no longer the criminal he once was - the sharpest wheelman on the east coast infamous from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida. But when his respectable life begins to cr umble a shady associate comes calling with a clean one-time job: a diamond heist promising a get-rich payout. Inexorably drawn to the driver's seat - and haunted by the ghost of his outlaw father - Bug is yanked back into a savage world of bullets and betrayal which soon endangers all he holds dear... Like Breaking Bad in a high-speed collision with Drive this stunning novel holds up a cracked mirror to the woozy ideals of the American dream - a dazzling operatic story of a man pushed to his limits by poverty race and a scarred self-destructive masculinity. 'Blacktop Wasteland is an urgent timely pitch-perfect jolt of American noir.' DENNIS LEHANE 'The book will leave you breathless but also desperate to know where Cosby will take us next.' LAURA LIPPMAN '...S. A. Cosby reinvents the American crime novel. Blacktop Wasteland thrums and races - it's an intoxicating thrill of a ride'. WALTER MOSLEY The perfect page-turning read for fans of acclaimed writers such as Don Winslow Attica Locke Bill Beverley and Thomas Mullen.
