Blacktop Wasteland, Cosby - B

                   This somewhat unusual novel is about a black man, Beauregard, who has been trying to get out of the life, but keeps getting pulled back in. Like his daddy before him, he is a wheel man of exquisite skill, and is recruited for a job that will solve his many financial problems. When it goes sideways, he has to pull off a second in order to get out from under the man who was robbed in the first job. It's exciting and explores some interesting father-son dynamics, but I would suggest should not have shown up on a recommended list.
