A Mile a Minute: Confessions of a Speed Queen

On death row, she records her life story on a small tape recorder. In a few hours, it will all be over. Before the injection burns her veins, she wants everything cleared up. There can be no doubt. Stephen King will listen to that tape, he promised! All the recorded material will serve as inspiration for a new book by the author. 1, 2, 3, testing... Twelve people dead. Fast food, fast cars. Detail by detail, she will record the events of her childhood and youth. How she met Lamont, the love of her life. How she, Lamont, and Natalie scratched the heart of America. A modern tale of sex and drugs—a wide range of amphetamines, lysergic acid, and speed. A gripping story of a love triangle that carries out a series of murders across the desert plains of North America. A couple burned alive after being beaten and tied up. Five fast-food employees stabbed and shot. A long line of dead. Chilling and relentless, A Mile an Hour: Confessions of a Speed Queen revives the tradition of American pulp fiction, recalling great names like the unforgettable James Cain.
