La plongée en enfer d'un délinquant repenti dans le Sud des Etats-Unis.
Beauregard Montage a décidé de se ranger. Père et mari aimant, il veut mettre derrière lui ses années de prison, son passé de chauffeur pour les petites frappes locales, et offrir aux siens la stabilité qu'il n'a jamais connue. Mais à Red Hill, petite ville rurale de Virginie, la vie d'un Afro-Américain ressemble encore souvent à un couteau planté sous la gorge. Et quand la pression financière se fait trop forte, Beau sait qu'il n'a plus le choix : il doit reprendre du service. Le coup semble gagné d'avance : un braquage dans une petite bijouterie, une fuite sur les chapeaux de roue, une piste intraçable. Mais le casse tourne mal. Pour Beau, le compte à rebours est lancé. -
Après Les Routes oubliées, la nouvelle sensation des lettres américaines est de retour !
Ike Randolph est noir. Buddy Lee Jenkins est blanc. En Virginie-Occidentale, cela revient à dire que tout les oppose. Ils ont pourtant été tous les deux pareillement lamentables en dénigrant avec la même violence l'homosexualité de leurs fils, maintenant mariés l'un à l'autre. Alors, quand Isiah et Derek sont assassinés, la douleur a un goût de culpabilité. Qui a tôt fait de se transformer en colère, une colère viscérale, qui réclame un exutoire.
À travers un thriller palpitant superbement incarné par deux hommes en quête de rédemption, S. A. Cosby dresse un état des lieux sans concession des marges de l'Amérique. Unanimement acclamé par la presse à sa sortie, La Colère est en cours d'adaptation pour le cinéma par la Paramount. -
IT'S A CRIME THAT HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. 'Sensationally good - new, fresh, real, authentic, twisty, with characters and dilemmas that will break your heart. ' LEE CHILD 'Every once in a while a writer comes along with an incredible voice. Think Elmore Leonard, or Chester Himes...add S. A. Cosby to that list ." STEVE CAVANAGH Beauregard "Bug" Montage: honest mechanic, loving husband, devoted parent. He's no longer the criminal he once was - the sharpest wheelman on the east coast, infamous from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida. But when his respectable life begins to crumble, a shady associate comes calling with a clean, one-time job: a diamond heist promising a get-rich payout. Inexorably drawn to the driver's seat - and haunted by the ghost of his outlaw father - Bug is yanked back into a savage world of bullets and betrayal, which soon endangers all he holds dear... Like Breaking Bad in a high-speed collision with Drive , this stunning novel holds up a cracked mirror to the woozy ideals of the American dream - a dazzling, operatic story of a man pushed to his limits by poverty, race and a scarred, self-destructive masculinity. ' Blacktop Wasteland is an urgent, timely, pitch-perfect jolt of American noir.' DENNIS LEHANE 'The book will leave you breathless, but also desperate to know where Cosby will take us next.' LAURA LIPPMAN '...S. A. Cosby reinvents the American crime novel. Blacktop Wasteland thrums and races - it's an intoxicating thrill of a ride' . WALTER MOSLEY The perfect page-turning read for fans of acclaimed writers such as Don Winslow, Attica Locke, Bill Beverley and Thomas Mullen.

A BLACK FATHER. A WHITE FATHER. TWO MURDERED SONS. A QUEST FOR VENGEANCE. '' Superb...Cuts right to the heart of the most important questions of our times.'' MICHAEL CONNELLY ''A voice as stark and distinctive as Elmore Leonard''s, and a humanity that touches the soul.'' DAILY MAIL ''Every once in a while a writer comes along with an incredible voice...add S. A. Cosby to that list.'' STEVE CAVANAGH Ike Randolph left jail fifteen years ago, with not so much as a speeding ticket since. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. Ike is devastated to learn his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah''s white husband, Derek. Though he never fully accepted his son, Ike is broken by his death. Derek''s father Buddy Lee was as ashamed of Derek being gay as Derek was of his father''s criminal past. But Buddy Lee - with seedy contacts deep in the underworld - needs to know who killed his only child. Desperate to do better by them in death than they did in life, two hardened ex-cons must confront their own prejudices about their sons - and each other - as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys. A provocative revenge thriller and an achingly tender story of redemption, this novel is a ferocious portrait of grief; for those loved and lost, and for mistakes than can never truly be undone. Praise for S. A. Cosby: ''S. A. Cosby is a welcome, refreshing new voice in crime literature. '' DENNIS LEHANE ''Sensationally good'' LEE CHILD ''I loved BLACKTOP WASTELAND'' STEPHEN KING ''Pitch-perfect'' DENNIS LEHANE ''Stunning. Can''t remember the last time I read such a powerful crime novel'' MARK BILLINGHAM ''A superb character study wrapped up in a high-octane heist novel'' Guardian ''Fantastic'' Sunday Times ''Spectacular.'' Daily Mail '' A delicious slice of country gothic wrapped in smart, hard, contemporary neo noir.'' ADRIAN McKINTY
