Description
A fatalistic journey takes a dark turn in this forgotten noir masterpiece. Alexander Roth's road trip from New York to Los Angeles becomes a desperate bid for survival after he's picked up by a stranger.
Written in 1938, the novel has been overshadowed by its film adaptation, but it stands on its own as a gripping and unsettling tale of crime and despair. A unique foreword by legendary author Lawrence Block adds to the book's enduring appeal.
This paperback edition is a rare opportunity to experience this neglected gem in print. With its gritty prose and unflinching portrayal of human nature, Detour is a worthwhile read for fans of hard-boiled crime fiction.
