‘ November Road is a remarkable and unforgettable reading experience … You will recommend it to friends. You will read it again. Berney is a writer to be read and admired. This is a staggeringly brilliant book and a flat-out terrific read.’ — Don Winslow Set against the assassination of JFK, this is a poignant and evocative crime novel that centres on a desperate cat-and-mouse chase across 1960s America — a story of unexpected connections, daring possibilities, and the hope of second chances from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone . Lou Berney is also the author of Gutshot Straight and Whiplash River . His short fiction has appeared in publications such as The New Yorker , Ploughshares , and the Pushcart Prize anthology. He teaches at the University of Oklahoma and in the Red Earth MFA program at Oklahoma City University.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg has won back his ancestral home but, threatened from all sides by enemies both old and new, he doesn’t have long to enjoy the victory. In Mercia, rebellion is in the air as King Edward tries to seize control. In Wessex, rival parties scramble to settle on the identity of the next king. And across the country invading Norsemen continue their relentless incursion, ever hungry for land. Uhtred — a legendary warrior, admired and sought as an ally, feared as an enemy — is once again torn between his two heritages. But when he finds himself fighting on what he considers the wrong side, facing one of his most fearsome enemies and cursed by misfortune and tragedy, only the most astute cunning, the greatest loyalty and the most spectacular courage can save him …
