The Drive-Thru

A. H. Wellewood's second novel, The Drive-Thru, is set in the small New England town of Pine Grove yet again. David Julius Rosen (Rosy), city-desk reporter for the local newspaper, will take you on a topsy-turvy tour of illegal liquor sales, payoffs and general mayhem. 1971 through 1993, known to have been a turbulent period in our nation's history, is the perfect time-template for this tale. Will Rosy have the investigative acumen needed to peel back multiple layers of local misdeeds and intrigue?

The Drive-Thru is a certain satisfying read full of surprises in the same tradition of Wellewood's other works, The Well: Memoirs of a Schizophrenic and Conversations with Joe.
