In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction-to the City of New York.
Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes.

HAS ALL THE CORE ELEMENTS TOWLES READERS HAVE COME TO LOVE: Wit, humor, intrigue, sophisticated storytelling, a flawless command of style, fascinating and compelling characters, splendid atmosphere, exquisite insight into human behavior-it's all here
WILL BRING NEW READERS INTO THE TOWLES FOLD: This novel has a thriller-ish element to it; one of the characters is a Machiavellian bad seed, a charming, manipulative, unreliable narrator passing himself off as something he is not
PERSONABLE, ENGAGING, HARD WORKING PROMOTER: No author has worked as hard as Towles at promoting his books and cultivating his audience. For his last novel, he did more than 150 author events, most of them at very large venues.
