Book synopsis

A.I. Bezzerides's third novel, about the dark world of truckers and wholesalers in post-war California, was famously adapted into the classic film noir Thieves' Highway (1949), directed by Jules Dassin. Immigrant trucker Nick Garcos-hauling produce in California's Central Valley-has a tough time maintaining his independence and integrity while dealing with the brutal and crooked underworld types who control the produce markets. This editon comes with a brand new introduction by Eddie Muller, author of Dark City and President of the Film Noir Foundation. "Bezzerides wrote with the progressive passion of John Steinbeck and the noir sensibility of James M. Cain. Anyone who wants to understand the bare-knuckled and blue-collar world of mid-20th century America has to read Buzz Bezzerides."-Alan K. Rode, Film Noir Foundation director and author of Charles McGraw: Film Noir Tough Guy
