Official synopsis Publisher
He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t look back. But when the job goes wrong, he makes you pay.
Drive by James Sallis is a searing work of neo-noir fiction that redefined the genre–delivering quiet rage, fatalistic beauty, and brutal velocity on every page. It inspired the internationally acclaimed film starring Ryan Gosling and still grips readers with its stark elegance and cinematic intensity.
Driver is a man of precision and control. By day, he performs car stunts for Hollywood. By night, he gets criminals out fast–no questions asked. But when a job turns deadly, the rules no longer apply. Now hunted, he must navigate a world where loyalty is a liability and silence is his only armor.
