520    "Michael Skellig is a limo driver waiting for his client 
       in the alley behind an upscale hotel. He's spent the past 
       twenty-eight hours ferrying around Bismarck Avila, a 
       celebrity skateboard mogul who isn't going home any time 
       soon. Suddenly the wind begins to speak to Skellig in the 
       guttural accent of the Chechen torturer he shot through 
       the eye in Yemen a decade ago: Troubletroubletrouble. 
       Skellig has heard these warnings before--he's an Army 
       Special Forces sergeant whose limo company is staffed by a
       ragtag band of wounded veterans, including his Afghan 
       interpreter--and he knows to listen carefully.  Skellig 
       runs inside just in time to save Avila from two gunmen but
       too late for one of Avila's bodyguards--and wakes up hours
       later in the hospital, the only person of interest in 
       custody for the murder. Complicating matters further is 
       the appearance of Detective Delilah Groopman of the LAPD, 
       gorgeous and brash, for whom Skellig has always held a 
       candle. As for Avila? He's willing to help clear Skellig's
       name under one peculiar condition: that Skellig become 
       Avila's personal chauffeur. A cushy gig for any driver, 
       except for the fact that someone is clearly trying to kill
       Avila, and Skellig is literally the only person sitting 
       between Avila and a bullet to the head.  "The Driver has 
       it all--crisp dialogue, complex characters, and a plot 
       that zips at breathtaking speed."--Kathy Reichs. "The 
       Driver is grim, funny, violent, and moving--all on the 
       same page."--T. Jefferson Parker"--|cProvided by
