Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby

4.0

uneven and 20% too long but really scratched an itch for a well-turned, machosensitive crime story with a non-police protagonist. the opening chapter in particular rips. bruce springsteen's "racing in the street" prosified. daddy issues, desire to be a good husband/father, muscle cars, some goofball supporting characters. there are a few blips in the quality of the prose and not a lot for non-male characters to do other than need help, but overall a satisfying read with subtly righteous politics. audiobook performance by adam lazarre-white was killer.
