And there’s this great maneuver that I’m still thinking about weeks after reading the book. I felt like I was driving along with Beauregard. I’ve never been excited about reading a chase scene before and don’t particularly care for them in movies, but the initial getaway scene was off the charts exciting. And - wow - the chase scenes are gripping. His reputation is known along the east coast. When Beauregard was in the Life he was a wheelman, the guy who drives the getaway car. The protagonist, Beauregard “Bug” Montage, is an African American man who used to be in the “Life” and is now trying to live a non-criminal life. It’s set in rural Virginia and North Carolina. Cosby is a gritty, violent, Southern noir mystery novel.
