Now a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, and Christina Hendricks
Driver works as a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. He drives, that's all--until he's double-crossed.
"One stark and stunning tale of murder, treachery, and deceit . . . [Drive] packs a wallop."-- Boston Globe
"A perfect piece of noir fiction . . . focus[ing] on those hollowed-out moments when a man's moral landscape suddenly shifts and he's plunged into darkness."-- New York Times Book Review
"Imagine the heart of Jim Thompson beating in the poetic chest of James Sallis and you'll have some idea of the beauty, sadness and power of Drive."-- Chicago Tribune
