The Highway Kind: Tales of Fast Cars, Desperate Drivers, and Dark Roads: Original Stories by Michael Connelly, George Pelecanos, C. J. Box, Diana Gabaldon, Ace Atkins & Others

Autor Patrick Millikin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 oct 2016
Thrilling crime stories about cars, driving, and the road from the world's bestselling and critically acclaimed writers.

Like fiction, cars take us into a different world: from the tony enclaves of upper crust society to the lowliest barrio; from muscle car-driving con men to hardscrabble kids on the road during the Great Depression; from a psychotic traveling salesman to a Mexican drug lord who drives a tricked-out VW Bus. We all share the roads, and our cars link us together.

Including entirely new stories from Michael Connelly, C.J. Box, George Pelecanos, Diana Gabaldon, James Sallis, Ace Atkins, Luis Alberto Urrea, Sara Gran, Ben H. Winters, and Joe Lansdale, THE HIGHWAY KIND is a street-level look at modern America, as seen through one of its national obsessions.

Recenzii

"The Highway Kindis the perfect gift for fans of Corvettes and other fast cars. . . . The stories inThe Highway Kindseem to have been chosen with extreme care. All the material is new and the writing is crisp. The stories are perfect for that lazy half-hour between the holiday meal and the holiday nap. Even non-crime readers who own Mustangs will love this one."—Margaret Cannon,Globe and Mail [Canada]
Entertaining—Mystery Scene
"A high-octane anthology"—Publishers Weekly
"So good.... a fine collection of short crime thrillers."—Booklist
