Summary

Driven off the desert road and left for dead, Claire DeWitt knows that it is someone from her past trying to kill her, she just doesn’t know who. Making a break for it from the cops who arrive on the scene, she sets off in search of the truth, or whatever version of it she can find. But perhaps the biggest mystery of all lies deeper than that, somewhere out there on the ever rolling highway of life.

Set between modern day Las Vegas and LA, The Infinite Blacktop sees Claire at her lowest point yet, wounded and disorientated, but just about hanging on.

Too smart for her own good, too damaged to play by the rules, too crazy for most – have you got what it takes to follow the self-appointed ‘best detective in the world’?

Critic Reviews

'A marvel of a novel, one that combines the mysteries of seemingly unsolvable crimes and the deeper mysteries of the human heart. Written with both a vivid edge and heartfelt compassion, The Infinite Blacktop is one of the most exciting books of the year.'

Jeff Abbott
Critic Reviews

Deeply intelligent fiction that cuts deep ... Claire DeWitt's power will sneak up on you.

Attica Locke
Critic Reviews

Brilliant ... as with all great crime fiction, these books rely on the voice of their detective, and DeWitt is the most reliably unreliable everywoman there is, vulnerable, violent, disingenuous, drunk, high, sexually reckless, vengeful, forgiving, wise, witty and full of heart. I would go with her anywhere.

Declan Hughes, The Irish Times
Critic Reviews

‘Uncompromising . . . what then follows is a masterclass in plotting, characterisation and style . . . beautifully intertwined to create a mesmerising picture of a woman on the edge in every scene . . . There are elements in The Infinite Blacktop that verge on the mystical and metaphysical. Throughout it all, DeWitt is as uncompromising and daring as her creator is, in a book that is deeply in love with the ethos of classic private detective fiction, while also dragging it screaming into the 21st century.’

A hard-boiled, existential masterpiece. ...This gorgeous, gritty novel x-rays the underbelly of America, speeding along with wit and terror and grace.
