Sugar Street by Jonathan Dee

An unnamed male narrator has hit the road, driving
until he arrives in a city where his past is unlikely to
track him down. Having opted out of all possessions
and human connections, the pillars of his new self—simplicity, kindness, invisibility—grow shakier as he butts up
against his neighbors in the politically divided workingclass city. With the suspense of a crime thriller and the grace
of our best literary fiction, Dee unspools the details of our
unlikely hero’s former life and his developing new one in a
drumbeat roll-up to a shocking final act.
