![]() Cosby’s Blacktop Wasteland is a searing, operatic story of a man pushed to his limits by poverty, race, and his own former life of crime. Like Ocean’s Eleven meets Drive, with a Southern noir twist, S. Haunted by the ghost of who he used to be and the father who disappeared when he needed him most, Bug must find a way to navigate this blacktop wasteland … or die trying. ![]() And Bug is at his best where the scent of gasoline mixes with the smell of fear. When a smooth-talking former associate comes calling with a can't-miss jewelry store heist, Bug feels he has no choice but to get back in the driver's seat. He thought he'd left all that behind him, but as his carefully built new life begins to crumble, he finds himself drawn inexorably back into a world of blood and bullets. Bug knows there’s no future in the man he used to be: known from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida as the best wheelman on the East Coast. But honestly, the driving scenes in this book are absolutely heart-stopping. Instead, how about an old-school muscle car, like my first high school boyfriend drove (It was a pre-1976 Dodge Charger.) Okay, just kidding. A husband, a father, a son, a business owner…And the best getaway driver east of the Mississippi.īeauregard "Bug" Montage is an honest mechanic, a loving husband, and a hard-working dad. I walked away from Blacktop Wasteland thinking maybe I should ditch my dreams of an electric car. ![]()
