American Static

American Static

After being beaten and left for dead, Steven finds himself stranded alongside the 101 in a small Northern California town. When a mysterious stranger named Quinn offers a hand in exchange for help reuniting with his daughter in San Francisco, Steven gets in the car and begins a journey from which there is no return.

Quinn has an agenda all his own and heâ€™s unleashing vengeance at each stop along his path. With a coked-up sadist ex-cop chasing Quinn, and two mismatched small town cops chasing the ex-cop, Steven is unaware of the violent tempest brewing.

Corrupt cops and death-dealing gangsters manipulate the maze each of them must navigate to get to the one thing theyâ€™re all after: Teresa, the girl holding the secret that will rip open a decades-old scandal and scorch San Franciscoâ€™s City Hall.

Steven finds Teresa homeless and strung out as their pursuers close in and bodies begin to pile high on the Bay Areaâ€™s back streets. Hand in hand Steven and Teresa lead the mad parade of desperate men to the edge of the void.

American Static is a fast paced crime thriller with a mystery woven in. Itâ€™s played out against the backdrop of Northern Californiaâ€™s wine country, Oaklandâ€™s mean streets, and San Franciscoâ€™s peaks and alleys, written by one of its favorite sons, a man who knows the underbelly of the city like no one else. American Staticâ€™s prose has been compared to Elmore Leonard, Richard Price, and Don Winslow.

Praise for AMERICAN STATIC:

â€œAmerican Static is a stunning achievement and nobody could have written it but Tom Pitts. Pitts ainâ€™t just the real deal: he set the mold for what the real deal is, and the rest of us are just plastic copies.â€ â€”Benjamin Whitmer, author of Pike and Cry Father

â€œAmerican Static grabs you by the collar and drags you through a dirty, dangerous tour of San Francisco. Tom Pitts serves up noir just the way you want itâ€”dark, relentless, and inevitable.â€ â€”Rob Hart author of New Yorked, City of Rose, and South Village

â€œAmerican Static is a remarkable novel, a ride with brilliant twists and turns and a relentless momentum, racing to an ending both unavoidable and unexpected.â€ â€”Steve Weddle, author of Country Hardball

â€œFast-paced, gritty and laugh out loud funny, nobody is safe in Tom Pittsâ€™ maniac thrill ride through the Bay Area. Featuring a burgeoning body count and a memorable collection of antiheroes on all sides of the law, American Static is a hot dose of pure adrenaline that will leave you gasping for breath and begging for more. Youâ€™ve been warned!â€ â€”Owen Laukkanen, author of The Forgotten Girls
