Freight: A Novel

A lone semi-truck hauling millions of dollars in Canadian pharmaceuticals is crawling through the snow toward the U.S.-Canada border, and a desperate cast is drawn into a scheme to steal it: Curtis, a new dispatcher with a pregnant wife at home; Billy Trask, a charming long-haul trucker with no conscience; and Sarah, a local party girl who leaves her own trail of chaos. A darkly funny, hard-driving noir debut from a Maine author who knows the trucking world.
