The Infinite Blacktop by Sara Gran

The Claire DeWitt series returns with a thrilling noir mystery that follows three separate narratives. Faber are giving away copies to reading groups to read and review.

About the book

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’?

Please apply by 31 August.
