Cruisers by Craig Nova
As a child Frank Kohler learned of his mother's brutal murder. Now, years later, he yearns for some affirmation that remains elusive. As a state trooper on the night shift, Russell Boyd cruises the highways of Vermont constantly reminded of the true depths of human misery. The lives of these two men will intersect only tangentially, until fate catches up with them.Craig Nova has fourteen novels to his credit, all of which have been translated into ten languages. He has received an American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Harper-Saxton Prize (past winners include James Baldwin and Sylvia Plath), many National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship awards, and other honors. His short fiction has appeared in journals such as the Paris Review, Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Men's Journal, and the Best American Short Story series. He's worked as a screenwriter for Touchstone Pictures (a Walt Disney Corporation company), Amblin Entertainment, and other studios. Wetware, based on his novel, was adapted into a film in 2018. Nova is a Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Hillsborough's University of North Carolina.
