Freight [Large Print]

By Ryan Lowell

"This book is so low-down and dirty your fingers will come away stained with blood and motor grease."--Benjamin Percy

"Tarantino fans should feed on this book."--Lee Durkee

"Gritty, lean, and unstoppable. What a debut."--William Boyle

As a lone semi-truck makes its snowy way to the US-Canadian border, a series of vivid characters are inexorably drawn into a desperate, comedic, and murderous scheme to steal its precious cargo.

Curtis, a newly hired dispatcher with a newly pregnant wife at home, holds a scrap of paper that identifies a semi-truck trailer that shouldn't exist.

Billy is an enterprising and charismatic sociopath who thinks nothing of quietly killing whoever gets in his way, and he carefully tracks the coordinates of a truck loaded with ten million dollars' worth of Canadian pharmaceuticals.

Jimmy, Theo, and Sarah are the not-so-innocent locals poised to stand in Billy's way, none more so than Sarah. Long dismissed as an easy party girl, Sarah's iron will and fierce instinct for survival will create an unexpected trail of mayhem and carnage in her seventy-five-mile-per-hour wake.

In the rough-and-tumble tradition of Dennis Lehane, S.A. Cosby, and classic American noir, Freight is a thrill-ride view of the world of labor, life and love--a searing portrait of men at work and also at their worst.
