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 CAVANAGHBeauregard "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 crumble, 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 MOSLEYThe perfect page-turning read for fans of acclaimed writers such as Don Winslow, Attica Locke, Bill Beverley and Thomas Mullen.
