Title: A STYLISH RIDE
Review: Occasionally #1 comes up with the correct rating for a book even though, in this case, she is confused about the central character's name. James Sallis has crafted an excellent noir thriller -- like a complicated mosaic -- from small, tantalizing fragments in the life of Driver, a Hollywood stunt driver who moolights behind the wheel of getaway cars. Driver is so cool his pores exude frost rather than sweat.As the story begins, people are trying to kill Driver because of a Phoenix heist that went wrong. Flashbacks from Driver's past life are interspersed with those from the robbery and his present efforts to extricate himself from his predicament.Sallis transmutes a simple double-cross and revenge plot into a stylish tour de force. Highly recommended.
