About this listen

The Drift is a fast-paced trip through the lurid world of modern hobos. Charles Harmon had a firm grip on the American dream until his mind started to crack. Now he's a know-it-all tramp riding the rails. When a friend asks Charles to help find his missing niece, the trail leads to an unsavory world of drug running and white supremacy.

John Ridley, author of Everybody Smokes in Hell, is acclaimed for his gritty stories and brisk dialogue.

Critic reviews

"Another enjoyable novel." (Library Journal)
"High drama, beautiful scenery, and resilient yet sensitive characters make this a must for all Delinsky fans and a perfect introduction to her work." (Booklist)
"Mufson's soft voice and subtle inflections reveal the slowly building romance that lies just below the surface of this tale of families and dreams." (AudioFile)

Really Cool Book

I read Love is a Racket many years ago and recently rediscovered John Ridley. His ability to describe really awful circumstances in an artful, thought provoking manner is a real pleasure for me. I like hard boiled crime fiction and Ridley is singularly talented in this genre. JD Jackson is an amazing narrator as well.
