Riveting, smart and funny, The Driver is a masterfully crafted debut.--Harlan Coben. Everything a great thriller should be--always smart, often funny, and relentlessly exciting. I loved every page.--Scott Turow. Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client in the alley behind an upscale hotel. Hes spent the past twenty-eight hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a celebrity skateboard mogul who isnt going home any time soon. Suddenly the wind begins to speak to Skellig in the guttural accent of the Chechen torturer he shot through the eye in Yemen a decade ago: Troubletroubletrouble. Skellig has heard these warnings before--hes an Army Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a ragtag band of wounded veterans, includinghis Afghan interpreter--and he knows to listen carefully. Skellig runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but too late for one of Avilas bodyguards--and wakes up hours later in the hospital, the only person of interest in custody for the murder. Complicating matters further is the appearance of Detective Delilah Groopman of the LAPD, gorgeous and brash, for whom Skellig has always held a candle. As for Avila? Hes willing to help clear Skelligs name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become Avilas personal chauffeur. A cushy gig for any driver, except for the fact that someone is clearly trying to kill Avila, and Skellig is literally the only person sitting between Avila and a bullet to the head. The Driver has it all--crisp dialogue, complex characters, and a plot that zips at breathtaking speed.--Kathy Reichs. The Driver is grim, funny, violent, and moving--all on the same page.--T.
