Set against the
assassination of JFK, a poignant and evocative crime novel that centers
on a desperate cat-and-mouse chase across 1960s America—a story of
unexpected connections, daring possibilities, and the hope of second
chances from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone.
Frank Guidry’s luck has finally run out.
A
loyal street lieutenant to New Orleans’ mob boss Carlos Marcello,
Guidry has learned that everybody is expendable. But now it’s his
turn—he knows too much about the crime of the century: the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy.
Within hours of JFK’s murder,
everyone with ties to Marcello is turning up dead, and Guidry suspects
he’s next: he was in Dallas on an errand for the boss less than two
weeks before the president was shot. With few good options, Guidry hits
the road to Las Vegas, to see an old associate—a dangerous man who hates
Marcello enough to help Guidry vanish.
Guidry knows that the
first rule of running is "don’t stop," but when he sees a beautiful
housewife on the side of the road with a broken-down car, two little
daughters and a dog in the back seat, he sees the perfect disguise to
cover his tracks from the hit men on his tail. Posing as an insurance
man, Guidry offers to help Charlotte reach her destination, California.
If she accompanies him to Vegas, he can help her get a new car.
For
her, it’s more than a car— it’s an escape. She’s on the run too, from a
stifling existence in small-town Oklahoma and a kindly husband who’s a
hopeless drunk.
