Sangre Road

4.4/5 ( ratings)

Introducing Moses Kincaid, an ornery, brazen, and possibly punch-drunk bounty hunter who must track down a skip trace into rural Oklahoma-circa summer 1995. Follow along as he comes up against bikers, prison peckerwoods, zombies, pro-midget wrestlers, holes up in no-tell motels and greasy-spoon diners, and gets gifted mouthful after mouthful of heavy-duty pain pills for the bumps and bruises he earns along the way!

Praise for SANGRE ROAD:

"David Tromblay has created a violent and wistful elegy to small-town America that cuts as sharp as an ice pick and goes twice as deep." -S.A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland

"Tromblay is a natural storyteller with an ear tuned for dialogue and an imagination that will keep readers wide-eyed and guessing, slack-jawed, and entertained. A manhunt shouldn't be this fun." -David Joy, author of When These Mountains Burn

"Sangre Road is spectacular! From slow-burn to inferno in character development, story and inventive twists and unexpected turns." -Stephen Mack Jones, author of August Snow and Dead of Winter

"Quick-witted, fast-paced, unpredictable. All roads converge to make Sangre Road a raucous, wide-open, crime-riddled joy ride." -Michael Farris Smith, author of Nick and Blackwood

"Sangre Road is a wild trip through a surreal Clinton-era Oklahoma, paced like a small-town stock car race without any rules. And funny as hell to boot." -Scott Phillips, author of That Left Turn at Albuquerque and The Ice Harvest

"Sangre Road is a gritty, funny crime caper that beats with a big heart. It's one part Coen Brothers, one part Elmore Leonard, but also a beast all its own. It takes you to unexpected places and leaves you thinking." -Nick Kolakowski, author of Boise Longpig Hunting Club and A Brutal Bunch of Heartbroken Saps

"Tromblay's writing is easy to fall into because he is clear and funny, and just when you're relaxed, he'll hit you with a line that makes you go 'hell yeah.' Sangre Road is alive with the weirdo types of characters you'd see on a given day in Oklahoma, and their color and humanity shine through. Truly a pleasure to read crime fiction this good." -J. David Osborne, author of Black Gum

"A rough-and-tumble journey through a landscape as colorful as its inhabitants." -Steph Post, author of Lightwood

"David Tromblay has done that thing we don't get enough of; a remarkably unlikeable character dropped into a book that'll make you turn the pages regardless. Tone, smell, dust, and heat all live here on Sangre Road, and the chop-along dialogue will speed you right down to the end of the trail. Buckle up!" -Theo Van Alst Jr, author of Sacred Smokes

"David Tromblay's Sangre Road pulsates with intensity. It's scrappy, sharp-edged, wild, and funny. One hell of a memorable ride." -William Boyle, author of City of Margins and Gravesend

"A thrill ride through Oklahoma alongside the stubborn, punch-drunk, smart-mouthed bounty hunter Moses Kincaid, complete with bikers, prison peckerwoods, zombies, pro midget wrestlers, no-tell motels, greasy-spoon diners, and enough mouthfuls of heavy-duty pain pills to keep you asking, 'what's next?'" -Penni Jones, author of Suicide Souls
