Stewart O'Nan is one of the most highly acclaimed fiction writers of his
generation, selected by Granta as one of the Best Young American
Novelists and hailed by The New York Times as a master. Grove Press is
proud to reissue his haunting noir novel The Speed Queen. The Speed
Queen is the gripping story of a twisted love triangle's drug-fueled
killing spree across the desert plains, told in the voice of Oklahoma
death-row inmate Marjorie Standiford, who is recounting her experiences
for a best-selling horror writer researching the murders. It's a
chilling, unputdownable crime novel in the tradition of James M. Cain --
a voyage into the dark soul of the American West.
