Seven years have passed since Driver ended his campaign against those who double-crossed him. Walking down the street one day, he and his fiancee are attacked. Sinking back into anonymity, Driver realises that his past stalks him - and will not stop until he turns and faces it.

Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver's near existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

There are those who vanish into the steaming New Orleans night - and it is part time Private Investigator and blues aficionado Lew Griffin's job to find them. The first of Sallis' novels to feature his character of a black detective in a white man's world.
