He drives, that's all -until he's double crossed.Drive has been made into a multi-award nominated film starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn'Sallis creates vivid images in very few words and his taut, pared-down prose is distinctive and powerful. The result is a small masterpiece' - Sunday Telegraph'Crime novels seldom come as lean and mean...essential noir existentialism' - Guardian'The perfect piece of noir fiction' - New York Times Book Review'Sallis is a fastidious man, intelligent and widely read. There's nothing slapdash or merely strategic about his work ... peculiar and visionary' - Iain Sinclair, London Review of Books
