Driven

He escaped his past. But some men are built for the road--and for revenge.From acclaimed noir stylist James Sallis, author of Drive, comes Driven--a lean, lyrical, and devastating sequel that cements Driver as one of crime fiction's most enigmatic antiheroes. With poetic force and quiet fury, Sallis delivers a hardboiled noir thriller steeped in loss, vengeance, and identity.Seven years have passed. Driver now lives as Paul West--a man with a business, a fiancée, a future. But when violence erupts in one brutal, irreversible moment, his carefully rebuilt life is stripped away. What's left is the road--and a man who knows only how to move forward through the wreckage.Because driving isn't just what he does. It's who he is.Taut as a wire and charged with existential dread, Driven is crime noir at its most distilled--pared-down prose, emotional gravity, and the slow-burn fury of a man chasing the past one mile at a time.Praise for Driven: "The perfect piece of noir fiction." --New York Times Book Review"Terse, brutal, poetic, perfectly wrought." --Publishers Weekly STARRED review
