A criminal legend is on his death bed. The smell of exhaust is in the air. Drivers of all kinds are rallying to pay their respects. Handbrake Hardy Fry's passing will mark the end of an era. His legendary career spans decades. Hardy outran the law after bank heists and armored car robberies. He carried contraband back and forth over the Canadian border. If a crime involved a car, he likely drove or trained the person who did. Some labeled him a hero, while others dubbed him a villain. Yet, no cop ever slapped handcuffs on Hardy except for a sole drunk and disorderly arrest-a feat unrivaled in wheelman lore. But even legends end. With word spreading that Hardy's death is imminent, the pilgrimages to his bedside have begun. Many come to pay their respects. Some travel to do him harm. These are their stories. Back Road Bobby and His Friends collects thirteen stories from the brightest voices in crime fiction.
