Synopsis
He was Charles Harmon, a black man "living white" and living well-beautiful wife, German car, big house-in an upper-upper-middle-class suburb of Los Angeles. He is Brain Nigger Charlie, a train tramp eking out a ragged existence on the railroads, leaning on drugs to keep him from thinking about everything he had, everything his creeping dementia has forced him to run from. Charlie's been asked a desperate favor: find the seventeen-year-old niece of the man who taught him how to survive the rails-a girl lost somewhere on the High Line, the "corridors of racist hate" along the tracks of the Pacific Northwest. Charlie has little hope of finding her alive, but the request is an obligation he can't refuse. The search is a twisted trail that leads from Iowa to Washington State, mixing lies and deceit, hate and hopelessness, and brutal, stubbornly unsolved murders. All of which Charlie is prepared to meet in kind. What he isn't prepared for is a path that will eventually lead him back to what he thought no longer existed-his own humanity-though the toll may turn out to be his life. At once stunningly visceral and psychologically complex, furiously paced and deeply empathic, The Drift is John Ridley's most ambitious, most galvanizing novel yet. From the Hardcover edition.

    Very riveting --- a page turner!!

    This novel is a gripping, visceral book about a former lawyer who due to mental illness becomes a homeless man who rides the rails. He takes on a personal quest to help a friend find his missing daughter. The details and characterizations throughout are so realistic and believable that you would swear the book describes the author John Ridley's life journey. It all builds and builds with suspense to a very satisfying end. Unfortunately, the book which was written in 2002 is now out of print, but plenty of used copies are available here on Ebay which is where I got mine. If you love a good read do yourself a favor and pick up 'The Drift'. Fair Warning: If you do you won't be able to put it back down!
