Synopsis
Sitting on death row, the Speed Queen is telling how main-lining speed turned into dealing, how dealing turned into robbery, and robbery into mass murder, spEaking in the tape recorder of Stephen King, who will write her story. Set against a uniquely American landscape of fast-food joints and endless highways, this darkly comic tale tells of lives in uncontrollable overdrive. 'THE SPEED QUEEN is a terrific novel; gripping, quirky, funny, violent and heart breaking. I haven't read a better book so far this year' - NICK HORNBY
