'I drive. That's what I do. All I do.'

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
Now a major film starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan
Drive received rave reviews from literary heavyweights in the UK and US; the sequel, Driven, is also published by No Exit Press
Sallis has a keen and loyal fan base that is growing with every new title. He has received a lifetime achievement award from Bouchercon, the Hammett Award for literary excellence in crime writing, and the Grand Prix de Litterature policiere

Industry Reviews

Sallis creates vivid images in very few words and his taut, pared-down prose is distinctive and powerful. The result is a small masterpiece -- Susanna Yager * Sunday Telegraph *
His mysterious background and lack of dialogue really make you fear him, while his actions romanticize his character -- Lee Tudor * Beautiful.Bizarre *
One of the most rewarding books you can read in one sitting * Mr Hyde *
A bloody postmodern fairy tale, Drive will certainly keep you under its spell -- Eric Storey * Signature Reads *
Sallis's lean mystery and flat-voiced prose are refreshing, even startling. A lovely piece of work -- Paul Skenasy * Washington Post Books World - Best Books of 2005 *
