Berney’s skill for “emotional, empathetic” writing (Entertainment Weekly) melds gritty crime fiction with deeply moving human stories. DARK RIDE stays true to this tradition, telling the story of the underestimated and easygoing “Hardly” Reed, and his quest to protect two children who fate puts in his life. Equal parts haunting and moving, this novel will keep you turning the pages until you’ve finished—and who would expect anything less than that from master of the craft, Lou Berney.

Lou Berney is the author of four previous novels, Gutshot Straight, Whiplash River, and multiple prize-winning The Long and Faraway Gone and November Road. His short fiction has appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, Ploughshares, and the Pushcart Prize anthology. He lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
