Blacktop Wasteland

Blacktop Wasteland by S. A. Cosby, recognized as one of the New York Times Notable Books of 2020, is a gripping tale that blends the essence of Ocean’s Eleven with the intensity of Drive, adding a Southern noir flavor to the mix. It follows the story of Beauregard “Bug” Montage, a man grappling with poverty, race, and his criminal past, who is forced to confront his limits.

Bug is a devoted husband, father, son, and business owner, leading a life far removed from his days as the most skilled getaway driver on the East Coast. However, as his new world begins to unravel, he is pulled back into a dangerous underworld of violence and betrayal. When a former partner proposes a lucrative heist, Bug finds himself unable to resist the lure of one last job.

Haunted by memories of his tumultuous past and the absence of his father, Bug must navigate the treacherous terrain of this unforgiving world, where danger lurks around every corner. He is faced with a choice: reclaim his former identity as a masterful driver or risk losing everything he holds dear.

Renowned author Lee Child describes Blacktop Wasteland as “sensationally good,” praising its authenticity, compelling characters, and heart-wrenching dilemmas. With a narrative that is both new and twisty, Cosby’s novel captures the raw intensity of a man torn between his obligations and his desire for redemption.

Blacktop Wasteland is a riveting tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring power of family bonds in the face of adversity. As Bug navigates the turmoil of his past and present, readers are taken on a thrilling journey through a world where loyalty is tested, and survival is the ultimate prize.
