A long-lost literary masterpiece that Damon Runyon called "a story of a curious American scene, packed around a drama with an astonishing climax. Read it if you want a thrill."This is the raw story of a lonely New Jersey highway and the people who travel it: the New Yorkers escaping to their country homes, the hard-scrabble shopkeepers, farmers and their families who live in the small, drive-by communities along the asphalt, and finally the wanderers who live on wheels, eat and drink at roadhouses, and sleep where-ever they stop when night falls...and with anyone willing, warm and desperate enough to share their beds.

The revised, second edition of the definitive book on author John Sanford's work. Now available for the first time in ebook and an affordable trade paperback. (Note: Not author "John Sandford" of PREY fame)
