Road to Nowhere

For years the drifter haunted the background of American life, roaming the side
streets and highways that crisscross this vast country. Cool and handsome, with a
single teardrop scar and a knack for silence that keeps the world at bay, he is a man
alone. That all changes on a rainy night in Chicago, when he witnesses a brutal assault
on a young woman. By the time he reaches her, the assailant is gone, leaving a trail
that is all too easy to follow. But playing the good Samaritan may be more trouble
than it’s worth, when his moment of conscience hurls him into a shadowy world of
violence, intrigue and deception. Caught between duty to his fellow man and the anonymity of life on the road, the
Samaritan could walk away. But when his estranged teenage daughter is threatened, he
will make his choice-and never look back. By turns violent and insightful, this
suspenseful novel from acclaimed journalist and author Jim Fusilli introduces an
unforgettable hero to the ranks of contemporary American fiction.
