Noir Books Goodreads

Sallis’ novel has all the noir elements including a skilled protagonist (called only Driver) who isn’t worried about breaking the law (in this case by using his stuntdriving skills to help criminals commit crimes) and who quickly finds himself in over his head and struggling not to understand or to find justice but merely to survive.
