Críticas:

"Reads like Sinclair Lewis by way of Jim Thompson."-Keir Graff, Writer's Read "[Jada Davis] could have become one of the major hardboiled writers...blessed with a strong style and a unique vision that had no sentimentality in it."-Michael Scott Cain, Rambles "Jada Davis's Midnight Road is a previously lost masterpiece by the author of the noir classic One for Hell. It's a compelling coming-of-age story set in West Texas during the 1920s and '30s, while at the same time it's a dark, suspenseful tale involving lust, madness, and murder that culminates in a breathtaking courtroom scene. Midnight Road is one of those books that will stay with you a long time after you've read it, haunting you with its power." -James Reasoner, author of Dancing With Dead Men

Midnight Road

 

“Old Trails was ugly of frame, face and temper. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand how he could have sired Samal. Not that Sam didn’t have a temper, too. She had a short fuse and could cuss a blue streak. Her tantrum storms were short-lived, usually, but they were entertaining while they lasted.

So begins the story of 15-year-old Jeff Carr as he begins to grow up one Texas summer, and face some of the harsh truths around him. Everyone says he favors easy-going Kenty Hooker more than his own dad, Bant Carr, but folks always have to have something to talk about. Jeff’s got other things on his mind—like Sam, who is turning into a woman in front of him; and her brother Coy, whose mean streak is suddenly getting a lot wider. And Fergus, the brother they don’t talk about; the one who lives under the house to avoid the beatings of Coy and Old Trails. But while Jeff is making the Trails family his business, Bant is nursing a brooding pain that will soon explode into violence. That year, none of their lives will ever be the same.
