"Bug" býval nejlepším šoférem podsvětí, než se ošklivě spálil a starý život raději hodil za hlavu. Vybudoval vlastní autodílnu, miluje svou ženu, stará se o rodinu a vášni pro rychlost podlehne jen občas. Jenže pak se to zase zvrtlo, podnik drtí konkurence, poctivá práce nevynáší a "Bug" se nechá umluvit k poslední velké akci. Vždyť tam, kde se vůně benzinu mísí se strachem, na něj nikdo nemá. A tak to riskne. Najde v asfaltové pustině, kde ho nepronásleduje jen přízrak dávno ztraceného otce, ale i stíny vlastní minulosti, tu správnou cestu? Nebo naopak přijde o všechno, na čem mu záleží?

Naprosto senzační – originální, neotřelý, věrohodný román plný napětí, divokých zvratů a postav, jejichž životní dilemata vám zlomí srdce.
Lee Child

Téhle knize jsem propadl… Zběsile rychlý thriller, v němž se pro ránu nejde daleko. Za vše mluví jediná hláška: Ujížděj s tou károu, jako bys ji ukradl.
Stephen King

Bývalý vězeň Ike Randolph už patnáct let seká latinu, a trávníky. Poté co vyšel z vězení naposled, založil si zahradnickou firmu a dodržuje zákony, jak to jen jde. Když ale černochovi zaklepe na dveře policie, tuší, že to nic dobrého nevěstí. Na to, co přijde, ale připraven nebyl. Jeho syn Isaiah se spolu svým manželem Derekem stal obětí úkladné vraždy. A i když se Ike se synem po svatbě nikdy pořádně nesmířil, teď je zdrcen žalem.
Derekův otec Buddy Lee se za synovu homosexualitu styděl skoro stejně, jako se Derek styděl za otce kriminálníka. Díky svým kontaktům v podsvětí teď ale Buddy hodlá vypátrat, kdo má jeho syna na svědomí. Ike s Buddym nemohou být rozdílnější, krom zkušeností z kriminálu je spojuje jen dlouho potlačovaná láska k synům, jejichž smrt chtějí pomstít. Než si to s viníky vraždy vyřídí, budou čelit nejen vlastním předsudkům vůči světu gayů, ale i vůči sobě navzájem.

Dva zavraždění synové. Dva otcové, jeden černoch, druhý běloch. Jak bude chutnat jejich pomsta?
