    Drive
    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.

    Driver 2
    Die Schatten der Vergangenheit sind lang. Besonders, wenn die Mafia ihre Finger im Spiel hat und noch eine Rechnung offen ist. James Sallis hat die Fortsetzung seines preisgekrönten und erfolgreich verfilmten Romans "Driver" geschrieben - und wieder einen außergewöhnlichen Noir geschaffen.In Hollywoodfilmen schnellt ein Typ, der fast ertrunken wäre, für gewöhnlich aus dem Wasser hoch ins Sonnenlicht und schnappt dabei gierig nach Luft, das ganze Gesicht ein einziger Ausdruck von Erleichterung. Als Driver zum ersten Mal auftauchte, vor sechs oder sieben Jahren, war es genau umgekehrt - sein erster Impuls war, wieder abzutauchen in die Dunkelheit. Aber manchmal laufen die Dinge eben nicht so, wie man will. Vor allem, wenn bereits mehrere Leute für eine Tasche mit gestohlenem Geld draufgegangen sind. Erst als die Sache geregelt war, konnte Driver verschwinden und eine andere Identität annehmen. Nur hatte er nicht damit gerechnet, dass ihn die Vergangenheit eines Tages einholen würde. Sie kamen an einem Samstagmorgen, kurz nach elf Uhr, zu zweit. Es war bereits heiß und würde noch heißer werden ...James Sallis knüpft nahtlos dort an, wo er vor einigen Jahren mit "Driver" aufgehört hat. Und wieder ist ihm ein atmosphärisch dichter, melancholischer und zugleich fesselnder Roman noir geglückt, der aus einer kleinen schmutzigen Geschichte ein funkelndes Stück Literatur macht.

    Driver
    Driver ist kein Verbrecher. Jedenfalls nicht im engeren Sinne. Er ist nur der beste Stuntfahrer, den man in Hollywood kriegen kann. Und manchmal fährt er bei Raubüberfällen den Fluchtwagen, obwohl ihn das gar nicht so richtig interessiert. Genauso wenig wie die Hollywoodfilme. Eigentlich will er nur fahren. Aber dann läuft einer dieser Überfälle schief, und Driver findet sich in einem schäbigen Motel in Arizona wieder, mit mehreren Leichen im Zimmer und einer Tasche voller Geldscheine. Eigentlich sollte auch er tot sein, denn der Raubüberfall war eine abgekartete Sache ... »Driver« von James Sallis ist ein literarischer Glücksfall: ein fesselnder, atmosphärisch dichter und zugleich virtuos erzählter Kriminalroman, eine Hommage an den klassischen Roman noir, die fast beiläufig zu großer Literatur wird.

    Sarah Jane: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
    A spare, sparkling tour de force about one woman's journey to becoming a cop, by master of noir James Sallis, author of Drive. Sarah Jane Pullman is a good cop with a complicated past. From her small-town chicken-farming roots through her runaway adolescence, court-ordered Army stint, ill-advised marriage, and years slinging scrambled eggs over greasy spoon griddles, Sarah Jane unfolds her life story, a parable about memory, atonement, and finding shape in chaos. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she is named the de facto sheriff of a rural town, investigating the mysterious disappearance of the sheriff whose shoes she’s filling - and the even more mysterious realities of the life he was hiding from his own colleagues and closest friends. This kaleidoscopic character study sparkles in every dark and bright detail - a virtuoso work by a master of both the noir and the tender aspects of human nature. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie McKay. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/052172/bk_adbl_052172_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
