Author Lou Berney has brought humanity to thrillers like 'November Road.' So it is with his new novel, 'Dark Ride,' about a stoner pulled out of his stupor.
The 13 most essential L.A. crime books — from Chandler, Hughes, Mosley and Ellroy to Steph Cha and Ivy Pochoda, with some ‘Helter Skelter’ in between.Berney’s heroes are sucked into opportunities for second chances almost against their will — at least initially. “The absence of free will takes a lot of the stress out of life,” Hardly muses, before his life gets far more stressful. “Go with the flow because the flow knows where to go. You’re where you’re supposed to be.
He finds himself assembling a ragtag team of accomplices, most of whom grow more alarmed the deeper he gets into his obsession. There’s Felice, the older real estate agent with whom he falls into bed . Eleanor, the caustic, gay goth chick, works at the municipal office and takes a reluctant liking to Hardly. And Salvador, the socially awkward, over-eager teen, works with him at Haunted Frontier. Berney gives them all room to grow along with Hardly.
