Bicycle Hobo Robert Downes

"Bicycle Hobo" revisits the story of Moby-Dick in a thriller set on the underside of modern America.
When a homicidal motorist kills his wife during a bicycle tour of the South, a man known only as Jake spends months trying to track the killer down through the efforts of the law, social media and a private investigator, all in vain. Driven to the brink of insanity, Jake receives a divine clue. He quits his job to cycle the highways of America, following the wind in the desperate hope that his path will cross the killer on the road. Along the way he encounters an assortment of misfits and dreamers and a battle for his own soul. Sure to be of interest to every cyclist, especially those who enjoy bicycle touring, the book includes more than a dozen illustrations.
