The Driver: A Thriller

The Driver: A Thriller

From the creator of the TV showÂ BonesÂ comesÂ a â€œriveting, smart and funnyâ€ (Harlan Coben) debut thriller.Â

â€œEverything a great thriller should beâ€”always smart, often funny, and relentlessly exciting. I loved every page.â€â€”Scott Turow
Â
Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client in the alley behind an upscale hotel. Heâ€™s spent the past twenty-eight hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a celebrity skateboard mogul who isnâ€™t 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:Â Troubletroubletrouble. Skellig has heard these warnings beforeâ€”heâ€™s an Army Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a ragtag band of wounded veterans, including his Afghan interpreterâ€”and he knows to listen carefully.

Skellig runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but too late for one of Avilaâ€™s bodyguardsâ€”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? Heâ€™s willing to help clear Skelligâ€™s name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become Avilaâ€™s 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.

"It is so hard to be unique in crime fiction and Hart Hanson has done it big time with The Driver. Itâ€™s got all the ingredients: high risks, strong momentum, unseen turns and a set of gripping characters. You canâ€™t ask for more!" --Michael Connelly

â€œThe Driver is grim, funny, violent, and movingâ€”all on the same page.â€â€”T. Jefferson Parker
