In the sweltering heat, both man and beast can act irrationally. A loner and drifter, John Stewart seeks little from life until his '64 Mustang breaks down in the desolate Nevada desert. Desperate, he prays to any deity and stumbles into the tiny town of Sierra, where he finds only decay—a gas station with a deceased owner, barren storefronts, and a truck stop café swarming with flies. Stewart is eager to escape, especially after being cheated in a poker game, as he needs to reach Vegas to settle a dangerous debt. His plans take a turn when he meets Grace, a captivating woman with an uncanny ability to read faces. Within twenty-four hours, Stewart becomes tangled in a treacherous web of deceit, shady deals, and desperate individuals, where murder lurks just a breath away. This gripping narrative unfolds with relentless tension, unforgettable characters, and shocking plot twists, showcasing a hypnotic story that embodies the essence of noir from start to finish.

Charles Harmon ha mollato tutto – il lavoro di avvocato, la casa, la famiglia – per diventare un hobo, uno di quei vagabondi che attraversano gli Stati Uniti sui treni merci della high line. Ora lo conoscono tutti come Charlie Negro Cervellone. Ormai è padrone di tutti i trucchi che servono per sopravvivere dove non esistono né legge né morale. Sa come destreggiarsi tra bande rivali, trafficanti di droga e criminali di ogni genere. Deve trovare Corina, la nipote del suo amico e maestro Walt: a diciassette anni, è scomparsa senza lasciare tracce. Come molte sue coetanee, affascinata dai racconti dello zio, la ragazza è partita alla ricerca della libertà, e forse di sé stessa. Si è persa chissà dove, lasciando solo una foto vecchia di un paio d'anni. Ritrovarla in quella giungla è un compito impossibile: anche perché ben presto sulle tracce di Charlie si mette una banda di neonazisti. Inferno solo andata ci trascina in un viaggio emozionante e sconvolgente, che corre veloce come i vagoni sugli infiniti rettilinei del West. Con il sarcasmo e la crudezza del suo stile inconfondibile, con una prosa ritmata e acuminata, John Ridey ci fa conoscere un'America sconosciuta, nera e maledetta: un mondo parallelo, dove non esistono certezze e la vita è appesa a un filo troppo sottile.
