He escaped his past. But some men are built for the road—and for revenge.From acclaimed noir stylist James Sallis, author of Drive, comes Driven—a lean, lyrical, and devastating sequel that cements Driver as one of crime fiction's most enigmatic antiheroes. With poetic force and quiet fury, Sallis delivers a hardboiled noir thriller steeped in loss, vengeance, and identity.Seven years have passed. Driver now lives as Paul West—a man with a business, a fiancée, a future. But when violence erupts in one brutal, irreversible moment, his carefully rebuilt life is stripped away. What's left is the road—and a man who knows only how to move forward through the wreckage.Because driving isn't just what he does. It's who he is.Taut as a wire and charged with existential dread, Driven is crime noir at its most distilled—pared-down prose, emotional gravity, and the slow-burn fury of a man chasing the past one mile at a time.Praise for Driven:"The perfect piece of noir fiction." —New York Times Boo
