Abstract: From critically acclaimed novelist Craig Nova comes the brilliantly-crafted story of two men, one on the fringes of society and the other safely ensconced in the role of lawman, whose deadly encounter will take the life of one and change forever the life of the other. Jake cruises the thin grey ribbons of the interstate highways in the middle of the night, waiting for speeders to chase down. Alone in his car, the threat of the lawless ever present in his thoughts, he distracts himself by thinking of Sophie, his girlfriend of several months. Alfred is a man who has never had a chance. From the time he was nine his mother would entertain men in their small bungalow--one of whom eventually robbed him of his mother herself. He has been looking ever since for something to make him whole. Now, after an unspeakable crime, Alfred hits the highway with nothing to lose. Jake is waiting, not knowing what is coming but, as always, wondering.
