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 Millikinen 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.

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
