Best known for his screenplays for three classic film noirs Jules Dassin's Thieves' Highway, Nicholas Ray's On Dangerous Ground and Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly, A.I. Bezzerides's first novel, originally published in 1938, is a fast-paced, hardboiled story about the hard world of independent truckers. It was made into the Raoul Walsh film They Drive By Night, starring Humphrey Bogart and George Raft, in 1940.
Struggling trucker brothers Nick and Paul Benay-hauling their produce loads between Los Angeles and San Francisco-are driving day and night, fighting fatigue and the fear of falling asleep at the wheel with endless doses of black coffee and facing the dangers of the California highway.
"Whether writing screenplays or novels, 'Buzz' Bezzerides was instrumental in defining 'noir'. His in-depth studies of what drives the good, the bad and the ugly, helped articulate the past as much as it informs the present. Read his novels, see his films." WOODY HAUT, author of Heartbreak and Vine The Fate of Hardboiled Writers in Hollywood

This isn't really a crime story (unless you count the trucking company owners who are constantly cheating the truckers), but it's got all the other characteristics of a hardboiled or noir story. Existential crisis, fatalism, a protagonist who's headed for destruction but can't seem to do anything to pull out of it.In this hardboiled novel from the 1930s, Nick is a trucker whose big break is always around the corner but he can't seem to get ahead. He's always at his wit's end, always tired, always pushing himself. He sees other truckers crash and burn (literally) but never admits that it could be him. Then he falls in love with a woman, which raises the stakes for him, as he wants to do well enough to marry her. And that's all I'll say for now. This was a quick read.

I got bored reading this.
A classic tale full of tension.
