From the Publisher:
Impulsively veering his car into the path of a reckless driver, Glen Bauer inadvertently kills a young man and constructs an elaborate cover story, a situation that is complicated by police suspicions, agonizing guilt and his 7-year-old daughter's witness to the crash. (general fiction). |
Annotation:
A mild-mannered suburban dad accidentally kills another driver when he tries to teach a show-off a lesson on the road. When Glen Bauer makes a flawed plan to cover up his mistake, LONG DRIVE HOME turns into a desperate unraveling for the man trying to stay one step ahead of the police investigation. While insisting to his wife, his daughter, and ultimately to himself that he was not to blame, Bauer confronts differing versions of the truth and discovers the heavy costs of overstretching those boundaries.

Praise
"While narrowly focusing his lens on [one] event and its consequences, Mr. Allison still manages to take in a panorama of human behavior...Mr. Allison's gift is in making [a] lie -- and each new one it inevitably spawns -- understandable, showing how this story could be anyone's."
