The Highway Kind: Tales of Fast Cars, Desperate Drivers, and Dark Roads

Original Stories by Michael Connelly, George Pelecanos, C. J. Box, Diana Gabaldon, Ace Atkins & Others

By: Patrick Millikin

Narrated by: Will Collyer

Thrilling crime stories about cars, driving, and the road from the world's bestselling and critically acclaimed writers.

Like fiction, cars take us into a different world: from the tony enclaves of upper crust society to the lowliest barrio; from muscle car-driving con men to hardscrabble kids on the road during the Great Depression; from a psychotic traveling salesman to a Mexican drug lord who drives a tricked-out VW Bus. We all share the roads, and our cars link us together.

Including entirely new stories from Michael Connelly, C.J. Box, George Pelecanos, Diana Gabaldon, James Sallis, Ace Atkins, Luis Alberto Urrea, Sara Gran, Ben H. Winters, and Joe Lansdale, The Highway Kind is a street-level look at modern America, as seen through one of its national obsessions.

Critic reviews

"The Highway Kind is the perfect gift for fans of Corvettes and other fast cars. . . . The stories in The Highway Kind seem to have been chosen with extreme care. All the material is new and the writing is crisp. The stories are perfect for that lazy half-hour between the holiday meal and the holiday nap. Even non-crime readers who own Mustangs will love this one."—Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail [Canada]

Entertaining—Mystery Scene

"A high-octane anthology"—Publishers Weekly

"So good.... a fine collection of short crime thrillers."—Booklist

pretty good

better than alot of the reviews gave on. quite a few good stories in my opinion, some could be better. but i don't regret listening

series of short stories

This book is a collection of short stories, from different authors, some are good and interesting and a couple to me were not.

Great stories.

Some of the reviews don't give this book enough credit. most of the short stories left me wanting to hear more. I was wishing they would keep going.

Ohhhhh so disappointed

CJ Box’s Story was only good story! The rest were Child’s play at writing! Too bad! I wasted a credit unwisely!

Very disappointing

Wasn’t at all what I was expecting it to be. I wouldn’t recommend this book.
