Summary

September, 1958. While on vacation, L.A. Country deputy sheriff Kevin Pulaski wasn't looking for anything more than a cup of coffee and a hot meal when he pulled into the lonely truck stop. But what he found wa a beautiful and egnimatic young woman, a link to a decade-old multiple murder, and a bloodstained, fire-scarred road leading to ta lost fortune in gangland money. In his undercover persona of an easygoing California hot roder, Kevin Pulaski finds himself swept up in a two-thousand-mile chace down the length of America's legendary Route 66. From the concrete canyons of the Chicago Loop to the desert wastes of the Mojave, Kevin's only allies are a hot '57 Chevy and an even hotter Colt .45. In West on 66, author James Cobb has written a classic noir mystery in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey Spillane. Climb onboard for an unforgettable ride on the Mother Road.
