"A gritty, voice-driven thriller about a former getaway driver who thought he had escaped the criminal life who is pulled back in by race, poverty, and his own former life of crime. Beauregard "Bug" Montage is a man with many different titles: husband, father, friend, honest car mechanic. But before he gave it up, Bug used to be known from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida as the best Wheel Man on the East Coast. After a series of financial calamities, Bug feels he has no choice but to take one final job as the getaway driver for a daring diamond heist that could solve all his money troubles and allow him to go straight once and for all. Like "Ocean's Eleven" meets "Drive" (but with a mostly black cast of characters), Blacktop Wasteland is a searing, operatic story of sons living up (or down) to their fathers; of a heist gone sideways; of a man ground down by economic desperation; of fast cars and daring chases and identity and love"-- Provided by publisher

Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah's white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek's father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy. Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little else in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in their desperate desire for revenge

Nathan Waymaker arbeitet im Bestattungsunternehmen seines Cousins und ist nicht nur deshalb dafür bekannt, dass er weiß, wie man mit Leichen umgeht: Er, der ehemalige Marine und Deputy, hat sich in seiner Kleinstadt in Queen County, Virginia, einen Ruf als Mann aufgebaut, der helfen kann, wenn alle anderen Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft sind. Als ein beliebter Pfarrer tot aufgefunden wird, bitten die Gemeindemitglieder Nathan, sich die Sache einmal genauer anzusehen, weil die Polizei den Fall eher unter den Teppich zu kehren scheint.
